The 17th Australian & New Zealand Conference on Haemophilia and Related Bleeding Disorders will be held at the QT Hotel, Gold Coast 1-3 October 2015.
After the very successful World Congress in Melbourne in 2014 we look forward to a stimulating and exciting Australian & New Zealand Conference to discuss and debate issues and follow up on ideas and connections made.
If you attended the Congress, you will love the Conference in October. If you missed the Congress you will have a chance to catch up. For all stakeholders in the bleeding disorders community it will be a chance to meet up again, renew friendships and learn more about living with bleeding disorders or managing them regardless of your role and interest.
The venue has good access in and around the hotel and on the conference floor. The conference area does not involve long walking distances, and the hotel is suitable for people who use wheelchairs.
Planning for the Conference is well under way. A registration brochure is included in this edition of National Haemophilia.
Earlybird registration closes 31 July 2015.

Join us on Thursday evening at the official opening of the exhibition and welcome to the Conference. This is complimentary to all registered delegates.
The breakfasts have always been popular and give an opportunity for men and women to meet and share their experiences – speakers not yet confirmed, but they will be interesting and relevant!
Youth activities will be organised throughout the Conference and the program will have sessions of interest to young people integrated throughout the program over the Friday and Saturday. Additional activities for young people will be organised and we will advise youth who have registered once the final program is confirmed.
A Remembrance Service is a very special time during our Conference to remember friends and family, and the people we have cared for in our community, who have died. The service is non-religious and everyone is welcome. It will be held on Friday 2 October before the Conference Dinner.
Join us for a relaxing and casual night with other delegates for the dinner on Friday 2 October 2015.
