With the need for improvement and expansion of Australia’s schools, TAFEs and tertiary institutions, public private partnerships promise governments a means of constructing complex educational infrastructure quickly, cost-effectively and at lower level of risk compared to traditional procurement.

However, using Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) to deliver complex social infrastructure like educational facilities involves sensitive long-term considerations. Careful planning, risk assessment and structuring is essential to successful project delivery.

The 3rd Annual Public Private Partnerships in Education conference provides an ideal platform for the public sector and private enterprise to discuss the role of the Private Finance Initiative in the future direction of Australia’s schools and educational facilities. Discover the latest initiatives on planning, costing, risk-assessment, procurement, financing, construction and facilities management for PPPs in education.

Meet with consortium members, government representatives and key advisors to discuss strategies for successfully using the PFI and other PPP models to deliver education projects.
