About the Conference

Theme: From Reef to Remote
Fees: Fellows – $150 | Trainees/Medical Students – $75

This 1-day conference unites physicians dedicated to advancing patient care through collaboration, open discussion, and the exchange of practical knowledge shaped by our unique regional context.

Conference convenor, Dr Ben Vogler, warmly invites you to join us in Cairns.

This year, the conference will be held alongside the MED NORRTH conference, forming a collaborative partnership that delivers distinct yet complementary programs under the shared theme, “From Reef to Remote.”

Successful health outcomes in rural and remote areas depend on understanding local context, rather than simply adopting urban-designed models.

The day will begin with a joint session showcasing and celebrating medical research from across Far North and North Queensland.

The program will conclude with a relaxed networking hour to connect with colleagues, strengthen professional relationships, and continue the conversations sparked throughout the day.

We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting and collaborative event.
