AEHA Symposium

An annual event

An opportunity to discuss ethical dilemmas and how the ACF can be applied to deliver solutions.

We are excited to announce the relaunch of the AEHA Symposium as a hybrid event in 2025, offering you the opportunity to attend virtually from anywhere in the world! This year, the symposium will take place on Monday, May 19th, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM (AEST), bringing together thought leaders, experts, and innovators in the industry for a dynamic and engaging experience.

Theme: “Ethical Healthcare in an Era of Disinformation and Misinformation”
Health misinformation and disinformation have always existed, but in today’s fast-changing, unpredictable, and digital environment, false and misleading information are increasingly threatening the integrity of healthcare systems. This symposium will examine the role and ethical responsibilities of those in the health sector to defend the integrity of health information, communication, and evidence.

What’s New? Hosted by the Australian Orthopaedic Association, we encourage all stakeholders interested in ethical health to join us virtually for the AEHA 2025 Symposium. With our hybrid format, you’ll have access to insightful presentations, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities from anywhere in the world. In-person attendance is limited and therefore by invitation only. Contact us if you are interested in attending in person.
