In 2024, the conference will be held at the Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) in Brisbane from Wednesday 4 -  Friday 6 December. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH IN THE DIGITAL AGE’. More information about the conference sub-themes, including the program, is available HERE.
