Maridulu Budyari Gumal is the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research & Enterprise (SPHERE). They are 14 leading organizations who have come together to move healthcare forward faster. They believe that collaboration is the answer, and are using their collective strength to power research across the world. They believe the faster research is translated, the faster diseases can be cured and treated. Maridulu Budyari Gumal is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recognized Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre (AHRTC).

This Symposium was organised by SPHERE in partnership with Sydney Health Partners (SHP) and NSW Regional Health Partners (NSWRHP) in conjunction with the Association of Academic Health Centers International (AAHCI)

The future of healthcare was together in Darling Harbour at this international gathering of influential minds. People from every discipline, industry and country were invited to join SPHERE as they challenge, innovate and ideas-make. As they move healthcare forward, from where it is, to where we imagine it to be.

Thought-leaders discussed the biggest health challenges of today and how we must work in partnership to solve them. The event also included debating big data and how it’s driving a quality revolution. Artists also demonstrated how they are using their craft to translate complex science into a universal visual language with new tech, devices and models of care being put on display. Future-makers shared their translation success stories and spoke of how we can unite across professions, organisations and borders to turn breakthroughs into practical, real world solutions.
