When it comes to medical dinners, not just any restaurant or function space will do. You need a venue that’s equal parts professional, private, and polished—somewhere your guests can focus, learn, and connect without distraction. That’s why more and more healthcare companies, pharmaceutical reps, and specialist clinics are turning to Factory51 as their go-to medical dinner venue in Brisbane.
From CPD-accredited presentations to intimate referral dinners, Factory51 has hosted dozens of events tailored to the healthcare sector. In this article, we’ll walk you through what makes our private dining room a standout choice—and how to ensure your medical function runs seamlessly from start to finish.
A Venue That Understands Healthcare Industry Events
Factory51 isn’t just a beautiful place to eat. Our private function room has been purpose-built to support events with specific professional needs. We understand the logistics behind healthcare and pharmaceutical gatherings—from audio-visual requirements and dietary accommodations to discretion and compliance.
Because many medical dinners involve sensitive information or sponsored content, you need a space where timing, service, and setup all work behind the scenes to let your guests focus on what matters. At Factory51, we take care of those finer details—so your brand, your presenter, and your attendees are front and centre.
Our Private Dining Room: Designed for Comfort and Connection
Located in Coorparoo—just minutes from major medical precincts—our Workshop Room is Brisbane’s hidden gem for professional functions. Whether your guests are arriving from Greenslopes Private, the PA Hospital, or the Mater, they’ll find the location convenient, welcoming, and easy to access.
The Workshop Room includes:
-
Complete privacy with its own entrance, restrooms, and bar
-
Seating for 20 to 110 guests, with flexible banquet, cabaret, or theatre layouts
-
An in-house AV system with projector, dropdown screen, microphone, and speakers
-
Polished concrete floors, exposed brick, and warm lighting for a modern yet relaxed ambiance
-
A private laneway terrace ideal for mingling or post-event conversation
Unlike many venues, we’re also able to accommodate last-minute guest additions, thanks to our on-site kitchen and adaptable space.
Sample Event Flow for CPD or Referral Dinners
Every medical dinner is different, but here’s how a typical evening at Factory51 might unfold:
5:45pm – Arrival & Registration
Guests arrive through the private laneway entrance and are welcomed with beverages and light canapés. It’s a great moment for relaxed networking or informal introductions.
6:15pm – Dinner Service Begins
Guests are seated and served either alternate drop or banquet-style entrees and mains. Meanwhile, background service is managed discreetly to keep the atmosphere focused and professional.
7:00pm – Presentation Time
As your presenter begins, our team ensures the AV is ready—screen lowered, mic checked, and lighting adjusted. No interruptions, no fuss.
8:00pm – Q&A or Panel Discussion
While dessert or espresso service rolls out, guests can engage with your speaker or participate in a structured panel.
8:30pm – Wind Down & Wrap Up
The evening closes with final remarks, distribution of any printed materials, and casual goodbyes.
From lighting dimmers to restroom signage, everything is set up to make your event feel intentional and seamless.
A Food-Focused Venue with Flexible Catering Options
Factory51 is a restaurant first—which means our food quality is far from an afterthought. Our team proudly delivers restaurant-standard meals to every guest, even during large-scale events.
Choose from:
-
Alternate drop menus (2 or 3 courses)
-
Banquet-style feasting options
-
Individually plated premium dining
Our menus feature handmade pasta, seasonal mains, and elegant desserts—crafted on-site with care. Because we’re a working kitchen, we can also tailor dishes to suit your audience, whether they need gluten-free, vegan, low-FODMAP, or halal options.
Pre-event, we’ll gather all dietary requirements and confirm each guest’s needs before service begins. We’ve even hosted dinners where menus were approved by nutritionists—so we’re well-equipped to handle complexity.
