GPCE

The GPCE – General Practice Conference & Exhibition is one of Australia’s leading trade fairs and continuing education conferences for general practitioners and professionals in primary healthcare. Held once a year, GPCE Perth takes place at the state-of-the-art Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, located in the heart of the city on Australia’s west coast. The event is organised by RX Australia, a globally recognised exhibition organiser known for its targeted and forward-thinking events. What sets the GPCE apart is its unique combination of hands-on education and direct access to the latest medical innovations. The program focuses on personalised care for chronic conditions and current approaches in diagnosis and treatment—covering areas such as sleep apnoea, hypertension, asthma, fatty liver disease, and chronic kidney disease. Additional key topics include weight management, secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), digital solutions for everyday practice, and strategies for effective patient communication. Participants can earn up to 26 CPD hours (Continuing Professional Development) through a structured educational program comprising in-depth courses, concise on-site learning sessions, and supplementary online modules. The accompanying exhibition provides valuable insights into contemporary solutions for general practice. Companies from sectors including medical technology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, biotechnology, and health IT showcase products and systems designed to enhance efficiency and improve patient care—from medical equipment and practice management software to telehealth tools and digital patient engagement platforms. The conference is designed not only for general practitioners but also for registrars, practice managers, nurses, and allied health professionals. Its interdisciplinary approach ensures that both clinical topics and broader themes—such as prevention, communication, and interprofessional collaboration—are thoroughly addressed. GPCE Perth forms part of a nationwide conference series, with additional events held in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. This structure ensures that healthcare professionals across Australia have access to high-quality education and the latest industry trends, regardless of their location. Highlights of the event include practical workshops, keynote presentations by leading experts, and the unveiling of breakthrough innovations in medical technology—alongside numerous networking opportunities with professionals at the forefront of healthcare. The Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre offers a modern venue with excellent technical facilities. Conveniently located near the city centre and the Swan River, and well connected to public transport and major roadways, it provides an ideal setting for combining professional development with innovation in a vibrant urban environment. The GPCE will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 07. November to Sunday, 08. November 2026 in Perth.
