Alongside inspiring keynotes and hands-on pre-conference workshops, attendees will hear from experts on topics including ADHD, environment and sustainability, the Red Book, GP wellbeing, health equity and health literacy, workforce, women’s health, and generational care. The full program is available online.
Attendees can also register for the conference dinner and awards ceremony where they can enjoy a three-course dinner and watch the RACGP Awards presentation.
Seeking EOIs for Health Technology Advisory committee vacancies
EOIs for HTA committee membership are now open.
The purpose of the HTA EOI is to form a merit pool of qualified candidates across a range of specialities from which the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (DoHDA) can nominate for future vacant committee positions.
The EOI is a broad advertisement for individuals interested in future vacancies on:
- the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee and sub-committees
- the Medical Services Advisory Committee and sub-committees
- the Medical Devices and Human Tissue Advisory Committee (specific roles)
- expert clinical advisory groups
- consumer and industry roles on any committee.
Candidates are requested to submit a 700-word EOI and online application for consideration for inclusion on the 2026 merit pool.
Appointments to HTA committees are a decision for the Federal Government, with this EOI process replacing the current merit pool that the DoHDA uses to fill vacancies.
EOIs are due on Monday 15 December 2025, 11.30 pm (AEST). For more information, see the
applicant pack or contact
HTA.EOI@health.gov.au.
