The Palliative Care NSW State Conference will return to Sydney for the first time in 12 years. In a State Conference first, we are also pleased to announce that the NSW Palliative Care Volunteer Managers Conference will run concurrently to the State Conference.

Ensuring the conference is as accessible as possible, wherever you may be located, was an important part of the decision to return to Sydney this year. Our previous conferences in rural and regional NSW have been absolute highlights, and we remain committed to continuing to host events that shine a spotlight on rural, regional and remote NSW in the future.

We invite everyone to embrace the spirit of collaboration and innovation that the Palliative Care NSW State Conference represents. To share knowledge and inspire one another. To use the conference as an opportunity for new connections, collaborations, and ideas that will enhance the way we care for those who need it most. Together, we can create a future where palliative care is understood, valued, and accessible to all.

We look forward to seeing you at the Palliative Care NSW 2026 State Conference.
