2026 FPM Spring Meeting
Save the date for the 2026 FPM Spring Meeting to be held at RACV City Club, Melbourne, Victoria from 2-3 October 2026.
Welcome
On behalf of the Faculty, I warmly invite you to join us for the 2026 Faculty of Pain Medicine Spring Meeting, to be held Friday 2nd to Saturday 3rd of October 2026 at the RACV City Club in Melbourne.
The theme is of this year’s meeting is Advancing Pain Care: Challenges and Opportunities. Pain medicine today is being practised in a time of considerable change. As clinicians, we continue to navigate increasingly complex patient presentations, evolving evidence, regulatory pressures, and broader health economic challenges — while also recognising the exciting opportunities emerging within our field. This meeting aims to provide a forum for thoughtful discussion, practical learning, and professional connection as we work through these challenges together. Sessions will include workshops that support continuing professional development requirements.
I look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne.
Sincerely,
Dr Harry Sivakumar
