Set against the striking coastline of Bunker Bay, the 2026 WA country conference is proudly hosted by Joondalup Health Campus and Rockingham General Hospital, two large hospitals in WA. As non-tertiary centres, stepping outside comfort zones is part of everyday practice. With exposure to a full range of anaesthesia subspecialties, we cultivate the breadth, flexibility, and confidence of true all-rounders.

Stepping “Out of your comfort zone” reflects not only the diversity of our clinical work, but also the challenges shaping the future of anaesthesia. Through a series of insightful talks, discussions and workshops, we aim to provide you with updates on a range of anaesthesia sub-specialities. We’ll also examine how anaesthetists operate in unfamiliar and often hostile environments, from remote settings to warzones, and how we adapt our skills under pressure.
