Thank You for making the 2025 Conference a great success

Thank you to the 354 delegates, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors who joined us from across the country for three days of insightful discussion, networking, and inspiration at the Day Hospitals Australia National Conference, held in Canberra from 27 – 29 August.

Attendees were treated to a dynamic program featuring keynote presentations from Dr Dan Pronk, Chelsea Pottenger, and Amanda Stevens. Engaging panel discussions tackled pressing issues including Accreditation, Regulation & Funding, and Financial Viability, while Paul Fenton, CEO of Icon, delivered a powerful leadership presentation that resonated strongly with the audience.

A standout of the conference was our dinner at Parliament House, which was attended by Senator Corinne Mulholland, Senator for Queensland. The dinner provided a memorable setting for connection and celebration (and some great moves on the dance floor).
