WELCOME LETTER 

Dear Friends, Colleagues and HITH Society Members,

On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee and Executive, it is a great pleasure to extend to you an invitation to join us at the 13th HITH Society Annual Scientific Meeting. Due to COVID-19 the conference will no longer be held in 2020 but has been rescheduled to 10 to 12 November 2021 at the Hotel Realm, Canberra.

The  HITH Conference has become a cornerstone of the HITH Calendar and is the must attend HITH event of the year.  It will be very important for us to meet in 2021 and evaluate the lessons learnt from a global pandemic and the impact of the bushfire crisis on HITH services.

The Conference will strive to offer plenty of networking opportunities to meet and interact with colleagues from Australia, New Zealand as well as our invited speakers, sponsors and exhibitors

We are excited about developing our program in line with the conference theme of 2021: The HITH Revolution. With pressure on inpatient beds higher than ever before, we believe it’s time for HITH to be a standard and expanding component of the patient flow process in Australasia.  The location in Canberra provides a wonderful opportunity to involve federal politicians, policy makers, academics, advisors and senior government decision makers.

Canberra is a young and vibrant multicultural city with many iconic attractions that tell the story of Australia.  Delegates can relax in the beautiful natural environment or wind down at one of the award winning dining and art precincts.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting
