• RESPOND27

    Australia's premier pre-hospital care conference

    Creative Careers | New Ideas | Real Conversations

    18-20 August 2027 | Gold Coast, Australia

    RESPOND brings together curious clinicians, bold thinkers and people who aren’t afraid to challenge the familiar, question the obvious and imagine what could be better.

  • RESPOND Conference

    We believe education should change practice.

    RESPOND Conference was created because we believe professional education should do more than deliver information, it should change practice. Our flagship event, RESPOND Conference, challenges the way we conventionally conference in almost in every way.

    Because, in our experience, our professions don't have an information problem, we have a creativity problem.

    So we removed the norms and challenged the way we conventionally conference in almost in every way.

  • Presentations

    At RESPOND Conference, we don't ask our presenters to simply stand on stage and tell you what they know. We ask them to tell you what they've learned and why it should matter to you.

    Every presenter is challenged to take their experiences, ideas, successes and failures and go one step further and challenge the way you think, work or practise.

    Because a great story is memorable. But a great story that changes what you do tomorrow? That's education.

    No PowerPoint. No reading from slides. No sitting through long presentations with an information overload. Instead, RESPOND brings together clinicians, researchers, educators, innovators and people with experiences worth sharing. Not simply to tell you what they know, but to challenge how you think.

    Master Classes

    At RESPOND, we do conferencing differently. Our workshops are Master Classes — but not as you know them.

    These aren't just sessions where you sit, listen and take notes. They're opportunities to get involved, get hands-on, challenge assumptions and explore ideas in ways that traditional clinical education rarely allows. We create experiences around what our profession needs, not simply what it expects. Sometimes that means getting uncomfortable. Sometimes it means doing something unexpected. And sometimes it means trying something that probably shouldn't work at a clinical conference, but somehow, it does at RESPOND.

    Every Master Class is designed to take you beyond your usual way of thinking and put you in a different environment, a different scenario or a different mindset.

  • RESPOND Conference

    Because professional education shouldn't simply fill your head with more information. It should change the way you see things, the way you think, and ultimately, the way you practise.

  • FROM OUR ATTENDEES

    Ideas Are Better When Shared.

    “I’ve been to heaps of conferences where I’ve forgotten most of what was said by the time I got home but RESPOND was different in that I was excited enough about it that I was still talking about the sessions days later.”

    — Naomi RESPOND26

    “Although RESPOND was advertised as being different, I really just expected another clinical education conference. Instead, I got a completely different perspective on prehospital care. What I loved most was that RESPOND didn’t pretend to have all the answers. It created a space where people could challenge the status quo and ask if anyone could think of a better way?’”
