Wominjeka – welcome to all.
It was our great pleasure to have hosted the Australian Society of Anaesthetist’s 2023 National Scientific Congress in Melbourne, for the first time since 2016. A dynamic metropolis with an exciting city centre, Melbourne provided the perfect back drop for this year’s Congress with breathtaking views of the Yarra River.
The congress spanned over five days and featured 27 scientific sessions, 17 masterclasses, 6 lunchtime sessions, over 80 poster and prize session submissions, 11 virtual workshops, 4 amazing Finger on the Pulse sessions, 4 Practice Evaluation workshops, 19 Emergency Responses, one satellite meeting, and one memorable Gala Dinner, with well over 1000 attendees!
There were ample opportunities to connect and network with fellow anaesthetists and learn from an exciting panel of keynotes, including accomplished international keynote speakers and local keynote speakers from the next generation of anaesthetics who shared their knowledge and insights.
The scientific program ran over four days from Thursday, October 5th, to Sunday, October 8th, with pre-Congress off-site workshops on Wednesday, October 4th. The Trade Exhibition ran across all four days, and there were several opportunities to mingle and socialise throughout, with the Congress Launch Party on Wednesday evening and a resplendent Gala Dinner on Friday, headlining an extensive schedule of social events. CPD certificates will be forwarded to all attendees.
The organising committee is delighted to have received plenty of glowing feedback about the innovative structure and the warmth and energy of the Congress in 2023. We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to connect with you onsite and hope that you took advantage of the excellent educational programs, developed your networks, and enjoyed all that Melbourne had to offer.

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC)
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is superbly located on the banks of Melbourne’s Yarra River, close to the heart of the CBD and just 30 minutes from Melbourne’s International Airport. The new Convention Centre opened in June 2009 and was part of a $1.4 billion development in South Wharf that includes a Hilton Hotel, lifestyle retail precinct and shopping space.
The venue is an easy walking distance from a range of accommodation options, which will be available to delegates to book at the time of registering for the Congress.
Welcome to Naarm.
The Organising Committee would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are visiting for the 2023 NSC: the Wurundjeri people. We want to acknowledge their continual connection to land that now houses our City of Melbourne and whose broader area is traditionally known as Naarm. We want to acknowledge all traditional custodians of lands throughout our nation and their unceded sovereignty to lands and waters.
Naarm encompasses the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation. The Kulin Nation is a collection of five Aboriginal nations: the Wurundjeri, Boonwurrung, Wathaurrung, Taungurung and Dja Dja Wurrung.
As the name Naarm is being translated from verbal language, Naarm can be spelled many ways (including Nairm or Narrm) and is used by the Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung language groups of the Central Kulin Nation.
