It is with great pleasure I invite you to the USANZ Northern Section Meeting for 2026.

This year the meeting will be held from Friday 02 - Sunday 04 October at Shangri-La The Marina Cairns, QLD.

This year we will once again have a trainee workshop (for both SET and non-SET trainees) prior to commencement of the formal program to provide an one-on-one session to help improve practical skills and exam preparation. Please make the most of these small group based interactive sessions.

Abstracts of scientific presentations are invited for consideration by members of the society to be included in the program.

We are grateful for the continued support of our industry partners.

I look forward to welcoming you all to this year’s meeting. It promises to be educational, stimulating and an enjoyable meeting for all.

See you in October!
