The First 1000 Days Conference

If you’re a health professional working with expectant or new parents, you’re invited to join us at The First 1000 Days Conference Tuesday 19th November 2024 at the Canberra Rex Hotel!

The Conference is a joint initiative between non-profit organisations, Tresillian’s QEII Family Centre, Marymead CatholicCare and Perinatal Wellbeing Centre with the theme for this year being Collaboration, Communication and Connection.  It’s proudly supported by the ACT Government.

What makes The First 1000 Days Conference so special?

• Our keynote speakers all have advanced training and experience in the perinatal field.  Delegates can opt to attend breakout sessions for a deeper understanding of particular topics.
• The Conference offers the perfect educational opportunity to stay up to date on the latest research and best practice.
• To ensure all delegates can connect with other like-minded health professionals, a networking event is planned at the end of the day. Catch a birds-eye view of Canberra at Sunset, at the Howling Moon on the rooftop of the Rex.  
• Feedback from our past two Conferences has been extremely positive with many delegates saying they gained tremendous value from attending.  Comments included: ‘Found a community of like-minded people that shared my passion. I was also informed about services that would be of great benefit in my practice’;  ‘As a midwife, I enjoyed learning about the research being done in this space’ and ‘I found the speakers and content to be very interesting and a great refresher’
