FoE member Healthy Futures has launched a bold plan to electrify hospitals across Australia, starting with nine pilot sites in every state and territory. This initiative will reduce emissions, cut costs, and build a roadmap for a sustainable healthcare future.

Healthy Futures is calling on the Australian Government to commit $1.5 million in the 2025/2026 budget to fund feasibility studies for the electrification of nine hospitals across Australia.

The proposal, supported by Federal MPs Dr Sophie Scamps, Dr Helen Haines, Zali Steggall, Kylea Tink, Allegra Spender, Dr Monique Ryan and Senator David Pocock aims to help Australia’s healthcare sector, which contributes 7% of the country’s total emissions, transition to a cleaner and more resilient future.

Binybara 'Lee Point' near Darwin is an area of deep cultural significance to the Larrakia Peoples.
