We are looking forward to the Australian Council of Deans of Health Sciences (ACDHS) 2024 Symposium to be held on Friday 25 October at Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne. We also look forward to an evening of networking at the Symposium Welcome Dinner on Thursday 24 October.

Learn more about the full program and speakers, including Anita Hobson-Powell, Assoc Prof Amani Bell, and Donna Murray. This year’s symposium will feature the inaugural ACDHS Awards, celebrating distinction in Allied Health.

The ACDHS Symposium 2024 will delve into topical issues and feature esteemed invited speakers. Key topics will include Allied Health workforce strategy, inclusion and diversity, work integrated learning (placements), and ACDHS’s advocacy work. As with the inaugural symposium, it will be an interactive program for members. It will be an important time that we gather and engage and pursue the important issues, especially in the run up to the expected 2025 federal election.

Who should attend? ACDHS members (Allied Health Deans, Heads of School, PVC’s and other leaders in allied health education, research and work integrated learning). Members are encouraged to invite a guest(s) from the sector, strategic partners or stakeholders.

Member registration is now finalised.

If you have already registered but are no longer able to attend, please contact the symposium organiser via acdhssymposium@expertevents.com.au as soon as possible so we can enable your place to be reallocated. If you are from an ACDHS member institution and interested in attending the symposium, it is possible to join the waitlist.
