To reflect the difference we can make when we join together, our conference theme is “Putting our heads together to change lives”. The conference organising committee comprises a diverse group of scientist-practitioners, and we are all keen to make the conference an exciting, multidisciplinary, practically grounded, innovative program of presentations and events. In particular, there will be a focus on how our field has responded to the set of circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including our use of telehealth for service provision.
We are compiling a program of fabulous international and national speakers who will undoubtedly inspire us to reflect on our professions and how we can maximise our impact on people living with brain conditions. These speakers will cover a range of clinically relevant topics including the costs and benefits of neuropsychological assessment; frontal lobe functions including social cognition and executive functions; dementia in indigenous communities; and telehealth delivery of services for people with brain conditions.
We’d love you to join us and hope to see you there!
Dr Kerryn Pike, Dr Travis Wearne, Dr Dana Wong
