PSANZ + FAOPS 2026
The joint PSANZ and FAOPS Congress arrives in Perth in March 2026, bringing more than 800 experts together for a high-energy concentration of perinatal science, innovation, and cross-regional collaboration. The Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre anchors the experience, with pre-congress meetings on 20–22 March 2026 and the main program on 22–25 March 2026.
Guided by “Separated by Seas, Connected by Care,” the program features data-driven plenaries, translational workshops, and multidisciplinary panels aimed at advancing outcomes for mothers and babies across diverse communities.
