At HealthcareLink, we’re always looking out for opportunities that inspire, educate, and connect our community of healthcare professionals. One such event that stands out in the 2025 calendar is the Festival of Nursing, hosted by the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA)—a major gathering for nurses working across Australia’s primary care landscape.
Taking place from 24 to 26 July 2025 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, this three-day conference brings together over a thousand nurses to explore hands-on clinical skills, engage in peer learning, and hear from industry experts on the latest in multidisciplinary and person-centred care.
What’s on at the Festival?
The program is packed with practical workshops, expert-led masterclasses, and opportunities to earn valuable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours. Topics include:
Whether you’re a seasoned nurse or just starting out, the event also includes a dedicated Student Nurses Expo (24 July | 2:30-6:00pm, free to attend) aimed at helping the next generation of professionals navigate their pathways in primary care.
Why It’s Worth Attending
The Festival of Nursing is more than just a CPD event—it’s a space to reconnect with your purpose, meet like-minded peers, and discover practical tools that improve patient outcomes.
Attendees regularly describe the experience as energising, deeply informative, and enjoyable. From walking the exhibitor floor to attending themed social events, there’s plenty to learn and lots of chances to recharge.
