About this Event
The 2026 National Multidisciplinary Primary Care Research, Policy and Advocacy Consortium Strategic Think Tank will bring together national leaders across research, policy, and practice to advance the vision of multidisciplinary primary health care in Australia.
This year’s Think Tank will focus on identifying evidence and research gaps, and translating emerging evidence into action, with presentations of new research across the Consortium's five research themes, strategic discussions on national reform priorities and new ideas, and collaborative planning to guide future directions.
Through keynote insights, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will contribute to shaping research priorities, strengthening partnerships, and supporting the delivery of high-quality, equitable, and sustainable primary care.
