2025 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (25OPCC)

Connecting Systems for Better Care

Early bird registrations are available to 30 June

This conference will extend the discussion to the wider health sector and the different systems of care that intersect with palliative care. Aged care, primary health, oncology, dementia care, disability services, paediatrics, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health are all growing aware of the role they can and need to play in someone’s palliative care journey.

25OPCC will energise that discussion and with government and policymakers in the room, the region’s future reform agenda will start to take shape. 

When: Wed 10 September - Fri 12 September, 9:00am - 5:00pm

Presented By: Palliative Care Australia

Where: Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre

Cost: 1290.00 (inc. GST)
