NZ Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age Annual Meeting

Kia Orana, we welcome you to the RANZCP NZ Faculty of Old Age Conference being held at Muri Beach Club Hotel, Rarotonga, Cook Islands from 8.30am Wednesday 20th August to 12.30pm Friday 22nd August 2025.

Event information

The goal of the conference is to foster networking and learning among colleagues from both countries. The conference sessions will take place in the mornings, leaving afternoons and evenings open for more informal networking and discussion.

We are focusing on utilising our local talent for the conference, rather than inviting guest speakers. Each region will be invited to present on an interesting case, share challenges, or discuss valuable insights that could benefit others. We encourage volunteers from attendees to contribute by speaking, sharing knowledge, or presenting topics of interest to the group.

Your input is invaluable in ensuring we create a program that is both relevant and engaging.

On Wednesday afternoon, we plan to visit the local psychiatric unit as a group, providing an opportunity to learn and engage with the local healthcare system.

This is a family-friendly event, providing a great opportunity to mingle with colleagues and enjoy clinical discussions in the beautiful setting of Muri Beach, Rarotonga. Additionally, you and your partner/family are invited to join us on a cruise on Thursday, 21 August, from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, which will include an early dinner, snorkelling, music, and more.

Please note that accommodation and travel are to be booked separately by registrants and are not included in the registration fees. Although the Muri Beach Club Hotel (where the event is being held) is fully booked, there are plenty of other family-friendly accommodations nearby that you can choose from.
