Healthy Ageing Summit 2026

29 & 30 May | Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise

Over two immersive days, leading voices in movement, allied health and lifestyle medicine come together to connect the dots between science and real-world application. Every session builds on the last. Every conversation adds depth. Every insight moves you closer to clarity.

Each session is aligned to one or more of the Healthy Ageing Institute’s 7 Pillars – Movement, Nutrition, Sleep, Stress, Connection, Purpose and Environment – giving you a clear lens into the key focus and outcomes of every presentation.

Whether you’re a practitioner or simply committed to your own health, this schedule is designed to move you forward.
