The Faculty of Adult Psychiatry is excited to partner with the Section of Private Practice Psychiatry and the ADHD Network for their second annual joint conference from 27-29 June 2025. 

Join us for an inspiring three-day conference in the beautiful Barossa Valley, where experts from various disciplines will come together to tackle the most pressing challenges and innovations in mental health care. The conference theme, Navigating the Future of Mental Health Care in the 21st Century, will provide a dynamic platform for education, collaboration, and professional development, focusing on the ever-evolving landscape of psychiatric care. 

As we come together to share knowledge and insights, let us remember the words: "Just as the best wines are made with the oldest vines, the best lessons are learned from old friends." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and learning that we hope to foster at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you there.


Conference program

The conference will commence with a full day of sessions followed by a cocktail reception on Friday evening, welcoming delegates to the Barossa. The scientific program will continue Saturday morning with a full day of sessions, followed by an optional conference dinner that night. The conference will then conclude early Sunday afternoon after a morning of sessions and a late lunch.
