Beyond the Bedside Conference

We're proud to launch the very first Beyond the Bedside Conference — an inspiring event dedicated to strengthening the connection between healthcare and home for children with complex medical needs.

This landmark conference will spark practical learning, powerful conversations, and lasting collaboration between families, clinicians, support coordinators, allied health professionals, and carers.

Together, we’re building a more connected and compassionate care system — one where every child has the opportunity to thrive, and every family feels informed, empowered, and supported.

• Explore how your role supports children beyond hospital walls.
• Understand challenges faced in home, school, and community settings.
• Learn from leading clinicians, educators, and carers.
• Discover strategies to improve communication and coordination across teams.

Why it matters

Research shows that better continuity of care — where families, medical teams, and allied health professionals collaborate — leads to improved outcomes, fewer hospital admissions, and a higher quality of life for children and caregivers alike.

This one-day conference will feature guest speakers including:

• Dr Golly, Paediatrician, author and Father of 3
• Dr Susie O'Neill, KIDS Foundation Founder and CEO
• Rebecca Keely, Founder and CEO of Yarn Speech
  and more.

In addition, kick off your day with confidence (choose as an add-on to your ticket):

• Join our optional breakfast session to complete your annual CPR refresher (7 Hours CPD).
• Start the morning with coffee, connection, and a certificate in hand!

Ticket price includes:

• Conference entry
• Showbag
• Morning tea and lunch
• Access to trade exhibits
