Connected care – from here to modernity

3 minute read


Early Bird tickets are now on sale for our next digital health and policy event on 22 October 2024 in Melbourne.


At no time in Australian digital healthcare history has there been a more coordinated attempt from government, healthcare providers and the tech sector to bring about substantive change to the nature of digital connectivity in the country. 

This year’s Wild Health Summit will feature the major players from each of government, healthcare providers and the technology sector discussing the major impending changes in play including the challenges we are facing in light of some very tight timetables from government. 

No other event puts the key people in the one room, including major overseas experts with experience in what we are about to attempt, and asks them the questions at the leading edge of change that you as an industry stakeholder need to understand better if you are going to successfully navigate the next few disruptive years. 

When: 22 October 2024 

Where: Collins Square Events Centre, Melbourne
