2025 Consumer & Carers Day

Invitation to Attend

Sunday 31 August 2025 | 1000 – 1630 | Meeting Room 2, Level 2, PCEC

We invite you to join us for the 2025 Consumer and Carers Day at the 60th ANZSN Congress to be held in Perth on the 31st of August. This day is designed for people with CKD and their families from across Australia and New Zealand by consumers.

The day will provide updates on research and opportunities for patients and their families to be involved in research. The presentations will be led by consumers, nephrologists and allied health professionals and will be interactive and encourage questions by all participants.

This is a unique opportunity for WA consumers to attend in person and for others around Australia and NZ to attend online. We look forward to seeing those who can attend in Perth this August.
