The Frontline Mental Health Conference on Australia’s Gold Coast on 6-7 March will address the mental health and wellbeing concerns of Australian and New Zealand first responders.
Those who are unable to join the two-day conference in person can still be a part of the conference, listen to experts and connect with peers as they share stories and collectively plan for a mentally healthy sector, by joining the conference as a virtual attendee.
The virtual conference will be running on the same schedule as the in-person conference, so all virtual attendees will have access to the conference, keynote presentations and post-conference resource materials with ease from the comfort of their own office and in their own time. If you miss the conference in real time, you have access post-conference to all keynote and concurrent presentations.

- Commissioner Georgeina Whelan, Commissioner of ACT Emergency Services Agency (ACT ESA)
- Sergeant Matt Ireland, NSW Police Force
