Medical Law and NSW Personal Injury Conference 2022

We are excited to announce that the 2021 Medical Law Conference (which was postponed due to COVID-19) and 2021 NSW Conference will be combined to create a joint NSW Personal Injury and national Medical Law Conference in March.

The Conference will be divided into two concurrent streams – a personal injury stream (NSW-focused) and a medical law stream (national-focused). Delegates will have access to both streams and will be able to switch between them throughout the day.

This Conference will be held at the iconic Luna Park Sydney, and is the perfect opportunity to enhance your professional development and network with other legal professionals. Delegates can gain up to 6 CPD points before the end of the CPD year.

This event will follow all COVID-19 safety protocols.
