RANZCP 2025 New Zealand Conference

Save the date

Welcome

On behalf of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) we warmly invite you to join us at the RANZCP 2025 New Zealand Conference, to be held at the Dunedin Centre, Ōtepoti Dunedin, New Zealand, 8-10 September 2025.

Situated in the lower South Island’s southeast coast, you’ll find Dunedin, known for its Scottish and Māori heritage, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and an energetic university student culture. The city is a unique mix of historic sandstone buildings, natural wonders, rare wildlife and is nestled amongst the dramatic and scenic landscape of the adjoining Otago Peninsula and Harbour.

The RANZCP 2025 New Zealand Conference will traverse a variety of topics, ranging from novel treatments, advances in psychotherapy, mental health statute revisions, and more. You’ll leave feeling fresh, inspired and up to date on what a psychiatrist practicing in New Zealand needs to know!

Abstract submission for pre-conference workshops, symposia and oral and poster presentations will open in early 2025, followed by registration opening in May.
