Elevate 2026 is Healthia’s Integrated Allied Health Conference, held on 16–17 October 2026 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. The event brings together more than 1,000 allied health professionals, researchers, clinicians and business leaders for two days of clinical education, professional development and networking, under the theme “Learn. Connect. Collaborate. Lead.”

Elevate 2026 runs from Friday 16 to Saturday 17 October 2026 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Adelaide, South Australia. Selected Friday morning pre-conference workshops will be held at the University of Adelaide and a nearby laboratory.

Elevate 2026 is designed for allied health professionals across disciplines — including physiotherapy, podiatry, occupational therapy, hand therapy, exercise physiology, psychology and speech pathology — as well as academics, researchers, practice managers and business support staff.

The two-day program pairs clinical education with business and leadership content. Sessions span musculoskeletal and sports injury management, concussion and vestibular care, hand and upper limb therapy, women’s health, pain science and practice management, alongside keynote and plenary presentations on resilience, human performance and innovation in allied health.

On Friday 16 October, delegates can choose from a range of hands-on pre-conference workshops covering topics such as orthotic prescribing, dry needling, shoulder and ankle rehabilitation, concussion care and upper and lower limb anatomy sessions with cadaveric dissection. Full details are on the Workshops page.

Keynote and plenary presentations feature Donna Urquhart, Martin Heppel and Leah Heiss, alongside leading clinicians and researchers such as Professor Trudy Rebbeck (University of Sydney), Professor Joanne Kemp (La Trobe University) and Associate Professor Stephanie Filbay (University of Melbourne). See the Speakers page for full profiles.
