SAVE THE DATE: CP-Achieve/ AusACPDM 2023 Symposium

The CP-Achieve/AusACPDM 2023 Symposium will aim to share learnings, knowledge and exciting emerging evidence about adolescence and young adulthood from the CP-Achieve team and our collaborators as well as invited lead researchers and thought leaders, people with lived experience and other advocates.

By doing this we hope to support closing the health, participation and social outcomes gap for young people living with CP aged 10-30 years.

The Symposium will be held over two days on 3rd-4th August and will be a face-to-face event in Melbourne.  It will include guest speakers, expert forums, interviews, question and answer sessions, and opportunities for networking allowing participants to be actively involved in learning and engaging to improving the health and participation of young people with cerebral palsy.

We are busy working on developing a fantastic program so watch this space for further details and updates.
