We are pleased to announce two dynamic and influential speakers for our annual conference in Sydney.

Geriatrician, Professor Susan Kurrle AO, will present on Friday 21 February.

Neuroscience researcher, Dr Mark Williams, is our Saturday 22 February plenary speaker.

Dr Susan Kurrle AO is a geriatrician practising at Hornsby Kuring-gai Hospital in northern Sydney and at Batemans Bay Hospital in southern NSW.

Susan is the Clinical Network Director for Rehabilitation and Aged Care in Northern Sydney Local Health District and she holds the Curran Chair in Health Care of Older People in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney.

Susan’s research and practice interests centre on dementia and frailty, successful ageing, and improving care for older people in residential care.

She was involved as medical adviser and commentator for the award-winning ABC documentary series ‘Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds’ & ‘Old People’s Home for Teenagers’, and has been working on implementing a similar model of intergenerational care in residential aged care facilities and community centres across Australia.

In January 2023 she was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to medicine as a geriatrician, and to research into dementia and cognitive function.

Dr Mark Williams has worked with thousands of students, teachers, health professionals, and executives keen to understand how their brain works, how to perform optimally, and maintain a healthy brain.

He runs programs on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions, the neuroscience of connection, and the impact of modern technologies on our brains.
