The OPCC is recognised globally as the premier palliative care conference of the southern hemisphere.

Hosted by Palliative Care Australia (PCA) since 1990, this conference is the standout event for the palliative care sector in Australia and Oceania. Industry leaders and experts recognise OPCC as the most valuable conference for relevant conversations and learnings.

In 2019, the conference expanded to include New Zealand and the Oceanic region and took on new and deeper significance as the Oceanic Palliative Care Conference.

This change has provided a platform for the conference to strengthen international partnerships, provide more support for delegates from developing countries and increase the reach of the conference to our near neighbours.
