Australia enjoys a world class healthcare system. It is a system that is complex and highly regulated, spanning all levels of government as well as the private sector.

Extraordinary advances in technology are transforming the way healthcare is delivered. Australia’s ageing population provides opportunities for growth as well as challenges to affordability and sustainability. These demographic trends and technological change demand substantial investment in healthcare infrastructure and are driving market consolidation and investor demand for healthcare assets.
The sector also faces greater scrutiny. Healthcare organisations will face widespread pressure to action findings from Royal Commissions into Aged Care, Disability and Mental Health. These findings will lead to regulatory changes and impact the sector for years to come. Maintaining and building skilled workforces will underpin sustainability and growth.
We work with hospitals and health services, aged care services, private health insurers, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, disability services providers, universities, medical research institutions and government at all levels on a wide range of healthcare related matters.
When we work with you, our commitment is to provide advice that is strategic, commercial and tailored to your organisation’s needs as you navigate the opportunities and challenges of the sector.
