About the Conference
We are pleased to invite you to the second Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Conference for 2026, proudly funded by the Victorian Department of Health and delivered in collaboration with the Municipal Association of Victoria.
The conference theme, Thriving through change: Strengthening practice, partnerships and families, acknowledges the ongoing evolution of MCH practice and the opportunities this creates for learning, collaboration and positive outcomes.
The conference will bring together expert speakers to explore a range of contemporary clinical and practice priorities. Topics will include the recently adopted Safer Infant Sleep Guidelines and partnering with families in the context of the Key Ages and Stages refresh, alongside a number of other emerging priorities relevant to MCH practice. Through evidence-informed discussions and practical insights, sessions will highlight ways to strengthen professional practice, foster meaningful partnerships, and support positive outcomes for children and families.
