We eagerly invite you to attend the RANZCP The Section of Youth Mental Health 2026 Conference, to be held in Hobart, Tasmania from 31 July to 1 August 2026.
The conference will run over two days and include engaging sessions across the youth mental health field including recent research, updates and developments with expert panels of clinical expertise and contemporary practice. Tailored to educate and inspire the interest of existing youth mental health psychiatrists, supervisors, and trainees, the program will be centred around the theme ‘Youth Psychiatry: Years in the Making’.
Our speakers will explore the new training program for psychiatrists working in the youth field and will also feature speakers discussing the current state of services available for the youth demographic, clinical focuses, and treatment of co-morbidities.
Join us in beautiful Hobart for two inspiring days, featuring engaging presentations and meaningful discussions. Connect with like-minded practitioners as you explore and advance this vital area of psychiatry together.
