Our aim is to share knowledge, information, research and experience in health design through our tailored event program. Our events include online, in-person and hybrid formats and we host events all over Australia.
Join us for the AHDC Mid-Year National Symposium—an inspiring afternoon of expert presentations, panel discussions, and in-person networking. This exclusive members-only event offers a unique chance to engage with both national and international leaders in health design while connecting with local peers over drinks and nibbles.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) redevelopment, completed in July 2024, delivers a major upgrade to healthcare in Adelaide’s western suburbs. The $314 million Kangkanthi Clinical Services Building—named after the Kaurna word meaning "to care"—adds a five-level facility to expand TQEH’s capacity to 415 beds. Designed by Cheesman Architects with BCA Engineers, Bestec, Aurecon and Rider Levett Bucknall, and delivered by Built Environs, the building houses a new Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Medical Imaging, Operating Theatres, and rehabilitation inpatient units. The project enhances high-acuity care, supports patient recovery, and reflects a strong cultural connection through its Kaurna naming.
