Dr Megan Best has over 30 years of experience in palliative care and medical ethics teaching, research and practice. She has taught medical ethics at tertiary level since 2001 and is currently a Professor of Bioethics at the Institute for Ethics and Society at The University of Notre Dame Australia. She is internationally known for her work in Christian bioethics. Her research has focussed on bioethics at the beginning and end of life, and in the areas of genomics and palliative care. She has also researched extensively in the areas of spirituality in healthcare, whole person care and psycho-oncology. She is the author of ‘Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Ethics and the Beginning of Human Life’ (2012) and ‘A Life Already Started’ (2013). Throughout her career she has engaged with evidence-based health policy development, making important contributions to palliative care strategy and health legislation.

Only 12 crew tickets are available per location! Crew members will need to be physically fit, able to arrive by 8.00am and stay until 7.30pm.

Schedule

Doors will open at 8.30am. The conference is from 9am to 6.00pm.

The Reflect team are busy changing up the conference format this year to include power packed keynote and plenary sessions. These will be interspersed with facilitated ‘communities of practice’ forums (instead of breakouts) where you will get to download and discuss the issues that matter to you! 

This new style conference is going to be a fantastic opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing!

If your bursary has been approved, you may purchase a ticket for the venue of your choice at the student member bursary rate.

In order for us to be able to provide hardship bursaries we require a certain threshold of donations toward conference to be made, hence we cannot guarantee we will be able to offer support. However, we pray that we would see the image of God reflected in the generosity of those able to give and support this conference!


Mission Booth Application

This year’s venues provide a fantastic opportunity for Christian mission agencies to connect with conference goers! We particularly welcome applications from agencies with medical mission opportunities.

If you would like to exhibit your organisation at the Auckland or Dunedin conference, please apply to the city or cities of your choice and we will be in contact with you: 

AUCKLAND Exhibitor Application

DUNEDIN Exhibitor Application 

Please note that we do not charge an exhibitor fee. However, please be advised that in 2025 exhibitors will need to purchase a full conference ticket for representatives per location they exhibit in and at least one rep per organisation is required to be in attendance throughout the day. Earlybird pricing is available until 1 March 2025. 


Accommodation

Travelling from outside the region?
Some attendees may need to stay in Auckland/Dunedin for the night before and/or the night of the conference. Please note that registration does not include accommodation and you will need to arrange this yourself. We recommend that in the first instance you reach out to friends or colleagues. Otherwise, we recommend booking your hotel/motel/airbnb early to get the best available pricing!


Continuing Medical Education & Continuing Professional Development points!

Don’t forget that conference can count towards your CME or CPD hours! If you have access to a CME or CPD budget, this professional conference is a legitimate CME/CPD expense and a certificate of attendance can be provided.
