Optometry Australia’s

interactive series

 

Optometry Australia is running a series of FACE-TO-FACE IN-PERSON ONLY interactive conferences throughout 2025.

Offering up to 10 CPD hours including interactive and therapeutic, our Interactive Series is a boutique, one-and-a-half-day (1.5) CPD event designed for local and interstate optometrists seeking engaging educational experiences and discussions close to home.

The program features both local and interstate speakers, with ample opportunities for interactive dialogue. Sessions will primarily focus on specific areas of practice using ​case studies, covering in-demand topics, including therapeutics, glaucoma and visual field loss to name a few.

In 2025, we will be hosting four sessions in the following cities:
