We’re thrilled to announce that early bird registrations for the upcoming 2025 Australian & New Zealand Stroke Organisation Conference are officially OPEN! We look forward to welcoming you all at the beautiful Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart from 2 to 5 September 2025.
The theme of ANZSOC 2025 is Towards Equity in Stroke. We have made great advances in reducing the incidence and improving the outcomes of stroke. Yet, we know there are large disparities in access to care for the prevention, acute care and rehabilitation of stroke. At ANZSOC 2025 we will explore how we can address these inequities by sex or gender, age, socioeconomic status, geographic location and stroke type.
Tasmania is the ideal location to explore this intersection of factors because of its unique characteristics. It is an entirely regional state, with a small and dispersed population, facing high levels of socioeconomic deprivation and an ageing population. However, these challenges bring many opportunities for innovation and collaboration across the health and community sectors to reduce the burden of stroke.
A visit to Tasmania offers many opportunities to explore our natural environment, with nearly half of the state a national park with hiking, biking and boating close to the conference location in Hobart. While here, you can visit Australia’s largest private museum, MONA; indulge in world class food and wine; and visit the world-famous Salamanca Markets.
On behalf of the organising and scientific committees, I look forward to welcoming you to Hobart, for what will be another wonderful event!
Professor Seana Gall, ANZSO Conference Chair
