Section of Social, Cultural and Rehabilitation Psychiatry 2026 Conference

Section of Social, Cultural and Rehabilitation Psychiatry 2026 Conference is organized by The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) and will be held from Mar 20 - 22, 2026 at Peppers Silo Launceston, Invermay, Tasmania, Australia.

Theme: ‘Many minds, one mission: advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in mental health care’, 

Description:
The conference program will address some of the key debates facing our section, with particular emphasis on the evolving role and identity of rehabilitation psychiatry, and an exploration of the key social determinants of mental health. We are also partnering with the World Association of Psychosocial Rehabilitation (Australian branch) to explore the challenges in accessing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for people with psychosocial disability.

In addition to the conference sessions, a thoughtfully designed social program will provide opportunities to cultivate professional connections amidst the scenic surroundings of northern Tasmania.

We look forward to welcoming you to Launceston in March 2026, where we will come together to reflect on these matters and more. We welcome your contribution to the discussion.
