On behalf of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) Victoria Branch, we invite all healthcare professionals to beautiful Cape Schanck for the ACEM Victoria Annual Conference 2026, September 18-20.
Join us for a long weekend of exciting and interactive workshops (Friday 18 September) and stimulating talks from leaders in emergency medicine (Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 September).
This intimate conference is an excellent way to reconnect with colleagues, gain valuable education, and take some well-deserved time to rest and recharge.
We encourage you to bring your family as there will be family-friendly activities offered for their enjoyment in the picturesque facilities of RACV Cape Schanck.
We hope to see you all at Cape Schanck this September!
