RANZCP Victorian Branch Annual Weekend Conference 2026

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Victorian Branch is delighted to present the 2026 Victorian Branch Annual Weekend Conference.

Join us to network with colleagues, update your professional knowledge, whilst experiencing the sights of central Victoria.

The Conference will be held at RACV Goldfields Resort, Friday evening 13 November to Sunday early afternoon 15 November 2026. Nestled in the Creswick State Forest, the resort is designed to foster deeper networking and relaxation. Between sessions, you will have full access to the resort’s premium amenities, including the heated pool, fitness centre, and championship golf course. A 20-minute drive takes you to Hepburn and Daylesford, a rejuvenating outing offering a bathing mineral spa, gourmet food outlets, charming regional art and many native walking tracks or gardens.

The Branch Committee is currently crafting an engaging and thought-provoking program. We are delighted to announce our 2026 Travelling Scholar Prof Dan Siskind will present at the Conference. Updates will be posted here as they become available.
