Advanced Practice Conference 2025

The 2025 Advanced Practice conference invites participation from people across all health disciplines and streams, as well as industry and community stakeholders and audiences.

This conference has been designed to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience across the broad fields within Advanced Practice, including important areas such as health service improvement, healthcare education, workplace psychology, organisational performance, and governance.

As healthcare delivery evolves and diversifies, we are encouraging the sharing of learning, research, and practice as it impacts on health systems, individuals, and the communities it serves at a national level.

Connecting all healthcare providers, clinicians, health leaders and managers, the conference provides a platform for those committed to improving healthcare through education, scholarship, and research.

The Advanced Practice 2025 conference is the place to hear from and meet with like-minded people and to spark ideas and forge relationships that drive health innovation across Australia.

The conference will feature inspirational keynote speakers who are leaders in their field and challenge us to look beyond the horizon.

We expect this event to be a beacon of scholarly stimulation and social engagement for all delegates and speakers.

We are excited to announce our program highlights
