PAC 2024 Conference

The 2024 Paediatric Acute Care Conference at the National Wine Centre of Australia in Adelaide will feature three days of innovation, research and learnings around the theme of ‘PAC in Practice: Practical Approaches to Paediatrics’.

A fully incorporated, not-for-profit organisation founded in 1997, Advanced Paediatric Life Support, Australia (APLS) aims to improve the early management of acutely ill and injured children in Australia through training and education of healthcare professionals.

From its development in the 1980s by the UK’s Advanced Life Support Group, APLS has become the internationally recognised gold standard in paediatric emergency training. Courses are supported by the 7th edition Australia and New Zealand APLS manual and an award-winning online learning package for both the APLS and PLS courses. APLS Australia currently facilitates over 130 courses a year for more than 2500 healthcare professionals, expanding each year. Its flagship courses, Advanced Paediatric Life Support and Paediatric Life Support, run in over 30 locations across Australia each year with outreach work conducted in several developing countries.
