The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Queensland Branch is delighted to invite you to our 2024 annual CME weekend in the beautiful tropical location of Cairns, North Queensland.

Our world is changing rapidly. Our ideas are evolving fast. Sometimes it is hard to know what is right and what is not. Come spend a splendid weekend with your old friends and meet some new ones. Listen, think, and share your ideas and dare yourself to challenge your ideologies. Let us evolve, progress, and learn from each other at the RANZCP Queensland Branch CME Weekend 2024.

The event will be hosted in the beautiful tropical surrounds of Cairns, a popular tourist destination that provides ample opportunities for families, romantics, adventurers, and budding ornithologists. There are activities for everyone: fine dining, boutique shopping, the Great Barrier Reef, and rainforest excursions.

The inspirational program is headlined by Keynote speaker Professor Dave Coghill. We are delighted to also have presentations from Dr Janet Bayley, Dr Bjorn Burgher, Dr Steve Duffy, A/Prof Mark Daglish and A/Prof Nicola Warren.

The Welcome Reception will be held on the evening of Friday 12th July. Guests are welcome to attend this function (at a charge of $66 per guest).

Join us for an opportunity to relax and renew friendships at the conference dinner with guest speaker Dr Christian Heim which will be held onsite on Saturday 13th July 2024. Guests are welcome to attend this function (at a cost of $121 per head).
