12 - 14 November, 2009

Bond University, Gold Coast, Queensland

Best practice in mental health services is interdisciplinary, so we are particularly pleased to be co-hosting our biennial PAIG conference with the RANZCP Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age. This conference presents an exciting opportunity to come together on the Gold Coast to participate in presentations with a strong clinical focus. Professional development opportunities for both psychologists and psychiatrists will be offered, but all mental health disciplines with an interest in clinical practice with older adults are invited to attend.
