Save the date for the palliative care sector’s biggest event – 2025 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference!

In 2023 over 1,400 delegates from Australia and the Oceanic region came together in Sydney, all driven by a shared passion for delivering quality palliative care.
These passionate nurses, medical specialists, general practitioners, researchers, allied health professionals, policy makers, volunteers (and so many others!) saw a future we are all responsible for shaping.
As we come together for the 2025 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference from 10 to 12 September, in Brisbane, we will continue this momentum.
“The 2025 conference program will take us a step further in learning and sharing real-world solutions that respond to the challenges of an ageing population,” says Camilla Rowland, Chief Executive Officer, Palliative Care Australia.
“One such challenge is the disconnect between different systems of care that a person living with a life-limiting illness and their family have to navigate. And as a result, many receive fragmented care and fall through the gaps.”
25OPCC seeks to address this critical need and facilitate conversations around the theme, ‘Connecting Systems for Better Care’. Aged care, primary health, oncology, dementia care, disability services, paediatrics, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health – all have a role to play.
25OPCC will help unpack these interconnections and help shape a well-connected system that provides patient-centred holistic care.
“And who better to facilitate this important conversation than a palliative care specialist who has spent over 30 years working in the sector, whose wit, warmth and wisdom left us all in awe of her at 23OPCC.
“I am pleased to announce that everyone’s favourite MC is back by popular demand at the 2025 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference - it is none other than Dr Jo Doran!”
All of this in the beautiful sunny capital of Queensland, with your peers and friends from the sector at your side, is an opportunity you don’t want to miss, so mark your calendars today!
Abstract submissions and early bird registrations will open in late 2024 - sign up to the 25OPCC mailing list to stay informed. For sponsorship opportunities please contact PCA’s National Partnerships and Events Manager, Gretchen Irvine via pca@palliativecare.org.au.
See you in Brisbane.
