Hosted by CSIRO at their Lindfield facility in Sydney

 

Healthcare in Australia and around the world must change. It is too expensive, it is horrendously labour intensive and access is far from equitable.  Whereas new technology has improved health, it has done nothing to reduce overall cost – quite the opposite – healthcare expenditure is rising alarmingly as a percentage of GDP. Effective new medical products and therapies tend to be expensive and drive up demand. If our future health systems are going keep us healthy at a reasonable cost then we must find new delivery models.

Speakers will be invited from research, industry and government to provide their perspectives on this challenge, industry trends, new developments in the lab/clinic, as well as some local commercial successes.
