People transforming lives
The 200ha Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct is a global business destination recognised for transforming lives through healthcare innovation, new knowledge and next-generation technologies.
Transform with us.
If you never look beyond the horizon, you’ll never see the future.
The 200ha Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct (GCHKP) is Asia-Pacific’s emerging health and innovation hub.
We’re a unique global business location for high-tech industry development, research collaboration and jobs of the future—a vibrant mixed-used community in which to live, work, study and play.
From a vaccine for malaria to a cure for spinal cord injury, we’re looking beyond the horizon with bold ambition and game-changing ideas.
We’re a partnership of organisations and people dedicated to making a difference. We hope you can join us to find your beyond.
A Unique Partnership
The GCHKP is a partnership between the City of Gold Coast, Griffith University, Gold Coast Health and the Queensland Government. The Precinct is already home to Griffith University, ranked in the top 2 per cent of universities worldwide, Gold Coast University Hospital, a major Australian teaching hospital, and the cutting-edge Gold Coast Private Hospital.
The GCHKP played host to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™ Athletes Village, now transformed into Australia’s first built-to-rent community, Smith Collective.
Already employing more than 14,000 people, including 1000 researchers, and home to almost 20,000 students, the GCHKP once fully developed will inject $2.9 billion into the local economy, supporting jobs for up to 26,000 people.
The Precinct offers a dynamic, collaborative work environment for global health and knowledge companies and organisations to invest, cluster and grow, with land development, leasing and co-working opportunities on offer in the Lumina commercial cluster.
The GCHKP will continue to grow and evolve over the next 10-15 years.
