Australia’s future depends on getting our social infrastructure right. The schools, hospitals, universities, child care centres and community facilities that provide a high standard of living and meet the needs of rapidly growing populations require careful planning, investment and collaboration between the public and private sectors.
Some of the most impressive examples of social infrastructure – like Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital and the Sunshine Coast University Hospital – have been created out of collaborative and multi-level partnerships bringing together key stakeholders and funding opportunities.
This page collates our suite of information, resources, industry committees and events related to social infrastructure sector, with a focus on health and education.

Our Industry Committees
There are a number of Committees across the country dedicated to advancing our work related to social infrastructure.
Industry Committees are made up of 12-25 property professionals from around Australia, who are experts in the relevant field. Committees meet every four to six weeks to discuss issues and projects relevant to their expertise and the focus of the Committee.
Being selected as a member of a Property Council Committee gives you the opportunity to help shape the future and influence the organisation’s advocacy agenda. Members have the opportunity to contribute to important, focused industry discussions while building their professional networks and knowledge.
As part of our 40-40-20 commitment to gender equity, all our Committees comprise a minimum of 40 per cent female representatives. Committee members are appointed for a two-year term, with the current Committees commencing their tenure in February 2023.
