Welcome to the
Australasian Health Facility Guidelines
The Australasian Health Facility Guidelines (HFG) are an initiative of the
Health Capital and Asset Management Consortium (HCAMC). The
Australasian HFG enables health facilities throughout Australasia to use a common set of
base elements as a guide and offers significant benefits including:
• Australasian best practice approach to health facility planning
• standard spatial components
• a highly flexible planning tool responsive to the dynamic changes in
Health.
For quick access
to the Guidelines Index page, click on "Guidelines" on the navigation bar to the

The Guidelines are available for viewing and free download through this web site. Users may
download the entire Guidelines in one large PDF file, or select only the relevant parts and associated components.
Process for Guidelines Development
The Australasian
Health Facility Guidelines are developed using a process that:
• reviews existing guidelines and technical standards from Australia and
overseas;
• researches and considers evolving trends in the delivery of care, emerging
technologies and changing government policies;
• references research based evidence developed within the Australasian
region, UK, USA, Europe and other countries that CHAA collates in regularly issued reports on emerging trends that affect health facility design (click
here for the latest report) and in useful lists of references that impact on guideline development and on health facility design (click
