Welcome

As CEO and Board Chair of Palliative Care Australia, we are delighted to invite you to join us in Sydney from 13 – 15 September for the 2023 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (OPCC). Come together for the premier palliative care conference in the southern hemisphere, with over 800 industry leaders, experts, academics, and practitioners from across Australia and beyond. We were last together in person in 2019 so we are VERY excited to bring the sector back together for three days of invigorating conversation, challenging discussions, and valuable networking. As we prepare to gather in 2023, there are many challenges facing our sector and the need for a trained, sustainable palliative care workforce has never been greater. The conference theme: ‘With the end in mind – shaping stronger health systems, delivering quality palliative care’ will elevate these issues and ideas from the sector and seek collaborative solutions to make a positive difference in our work. We want you to be part of this outstanding event. Whether you are a sponsor, exhibitor, presenter, or delegate, there’s something for you at 23OPCC.
