PSA26 set to welcome pharmacists home, with registrations now open
11 December 2025
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) is excited to announce the launch of its 2026 national conference, PSA26, and to welcome home pharmacists as registrations open.
PSA26 will take place from Friday, 31 July to Sunday, 2 August 2026 at ICC Sydney.
The ‘Home of Pharmacists’ theme reflects PSA’s ongoing commitment to increasing the breadth and depth of support provided to members, ensuring that more pharmacists, across more practice settings, find their professional home in PSA.
With PSA’s acquisition of the Australasian College of Pharmacy (the College), this theme takes on special meaning, symbolising the beginning of a new chapter in which more pharmacists can come home to an organisation that unites, represents, and supports them at every stage of their professional journey.
Pharmacists can expect to participate in PSA’s agenda-setting sessions and workshops throughout the conference, which will earn them a mix of group 1 and 2 CPD credits, designed to drive innovation and excellence in pharmacy practice.
President–Elect, Professor Mark Naunton MPS, reflected on the heightened significance of the theme following PSA’s acquisition of the College.
“PSA26 is more than a conference; it’s where every pharmacist can see themselves reflected in the future of their profession,” he said.
“‘The Home of Pharmacists’ theme signifies belonging, connection, and purpose, uniting pharmacists across all areas of practice.
“This new chapter for our national conference will bring more of the profession home under one roof. PSA26 is where we welcome pharmacists to the organisation that supports them at every stage of their career.”
Building on the success of this year’s conference, pharmacists will see several program changes at PSA26 as the event continues to grow. Social events will be held in new, larger venues, and the scientific program will span multiple days.
“It’s great to see the scientific program of oral presentations and poster sessions continue to grow. We are similarly pleased to elevate the closing plenary back to a seated luncheon event for the first time since 2022, anchored by the Alan Russell Oration,” Professor Naunton said.
“We know people crave connection. At PSA26, we have an enhanced social program tailored to forming these connections, with more time for networking to allow pharmacists the opportunity to grow, connect, and reflect.
“It’s fantastic that we have been able to expand the ECP party to everyone as a ‘housewarming party’ on the Friday evening after the welcome reception.”
Following overwhelming engagement this year, pharmacists’ favourite sessions will return, including agenda-setting policy panels, Pharmacy Student of the Year and CSI Sundays.
“I encourage all PSA members and pharmacists looking to expand their network to register for PSA26. Now is the time to lock in the best pricing for registration, accommodation and travel, and I encourage PSA members to take advantage of the special launch offer and don’t forget to invite your colleagues,” he said.
Registrations for PSA26 are now open, with a launch offer available until 24 December. Secure your spot and come home to PSA26 here
