The Youth Program for the Australian Bleeding Disorders Conference is now available. Challenge yourself with a rock climb out at Kangaroo Point Cliffs and get to know other youth community members.
As part of the Conference, we have an opportunity for young people to connect and have some fun together as well a participating in the Conference program.
Alan Dursun from NSW, who recently attended the WFH Youth Leadership training and Ben Inglis from VIC will run the youth program, starting on Thursday afternoon with rock climbing at Kangaroo Point.
On Friday and Saturday you will attend the mainstream conference program with your new friends and take part in sessions on sport, ‘is it a bleed or injury?’, gene and emerging therapies, a dedicated session on Youth and many more.
The youth program is included in the Youth (16-30yo) conference registration, and covers transport to and from Kangaroo Point.
