PASA Health & Aged Care Procurement Conference returns in June

The 11th Annual PASA Health & Aged Care Procurement Conference 2026 explores procurement challenges faced by the sector in 2026–27.

The conference brings together sector leaders to share practical strategies, real-world case studies and proven approaches to building resilient procurement capability across health and aged care.

Attracting 300+ procurement professionals, the conference is intended for health and aged care sector procurement buyers and suppliers.

Key topics for 2026 include:

• Adaptability in action — how to respond to workforce pressures, supply disruption, regulatory reform and evolving sector demands through agile procurement models.
• Digital transformation — how procurement visibility, compliance and data-driven decision-making is being transformed through AI, automation and digital tools.
• Risk and resilience — how, in a volatile environment, supply chain security can be strengthened and adaptable procurement models built.
• Value-based outcomes — how to move beyond cost savings to deliver measurable service quality, governance and long-term value.
• Workforce and capability — how procurement teams can be made future-ready with stronger commercial and strategic capability.
