Health policy and economics: growth and reform
This event was a sucess and well received by the audience.
The health industry is set to be Australia's fastest growing industry. Medical advances profoundly improve patient outcomes but with out of date funding and policy mechanisms our health system is under increasing pressure. Health reform is well overdue.

Event overview
Australia's health system was designed over a generation ago. Industry and all levels of government agree that transformation of Australia's health system is imperative. Australia must maximise the use of our innovative and pioneering health expertise while ensuring affordability and access to end users. Achieving this will mean balancing social and economic policy.
CEDA will investigate the implications the industry needs to consider to ensure that Australia has enough vital services to cope with the future intensive demands of its population.
This event brings together industry leaders to share their insights following the release of the CEDA policy perspective report Healthcare: Reform or ration. The report examines the success of Australia's biomedicine sector and issues to be addressed, across financing, policy and education, for sector reform.
