2026 WA ACE Country Conference
The WA ACE Country Conference will be held on 13-15 November 2026 at Bunker Bay.
Welcome from the convenors
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.
Additionally, we’ll turn our attention to emerging frontiers that push us beyond traditional boundaries, including the evolving role of artificial intelligence in anaesthesia, an area that may feel as uncertain as it is inevitable.
Whether you’re broadening your scope, refining your generalist skills, or simply looking for fresh perspectives, this conference offers practical updates, thought-provoking ideas, and the chance to connect with your colleagues.
Join us at Bunker Bay and take a step out of your comfort zone.
Dr Louise Dawson, Dr Elizabeth Carr and Dr Rebecca Monaghan
