HPIs international branch network TAHPI is a finalist in the Health and Biotechnology category for the NSW Premiers Export Awards 2018. The Premier’s NSW Export Awards is an annual program which aims to recognise excellence in the export of goods and services by NSW business. The Awards acknowledge the important contribution of businesses to the economy through job creation and increased prosperity for the community and for the state.

TAHPI was nominated for delivering innovative health planning, software, and design solutions to public and private providers of patient care, from inception through to commissioning, as well as optimisation of business processes and plans for operational services. These solutions range from the creation of efficient and sustainable facilities, to strategic plans for systems and corporations, to working models for the management of international health assets.

Collectively, HPI and TAHPI (HPI’s International Branch) are the authors of many industry-recognised Health Facility Standards and Design Guidelines, developed on behalf of various health authorities around the world and delivered in a comprehensive digital package as 3D Designs, Databases, and HFBS Software to appropriately utilise the guidelines.
