Home - GP OBESITY CONFERENCE 2026

There's no shortage of conferences in the obesity space.

But if you've ever sat in a room full of bariatric surgeons or allied health professionals and wondered where the GP voice was — you're not alone.

That changes this October.

GPs are at the forefront of obesity medicine. You're the ones building long-term relationships with patients, navigating the complexity of chronic disease, and making real, lasting change in people's lives every single day.

And yet — the field of obesity medicine is moving faster than ever.

New medications coming down the pipeline. Emerging evidence. Shifting treatment paradigms. It can be hard to keep up.

This conference was built for exactly this reason - to help you stay ahead and provide the highest standard of care to your patients living with Obesity.

With CPD accreditation, this is a must-attend event for GPs looking to stay at the forefront of obesity medicine. RACGP CPD approved activities includes 8 hours Educational Activities, 2 hours Measuring Outcomes and 2 hours Reviewing Performance for a total of 12 hours.

Designed entirely around general practice.

Every session, every speaker, every case study has been selected with one person in mind: the GP who wants to do this work well.

You'll leave with practical, evidence-based tools you can use in your very next consultation.

What's on the agenda?

Prescribing GLP-1 medications with confidence
Emerging pharmacotherapy in obesity management
Supporting patients with optimal nutrition on GLP-1s
Preserving lean muscle mass through weight loss
Navigating complex cases in obesity medicine including ADHD and Binge eating disorder
The post bariatric surgery patient
Complications of obesity including CVD, OSA, MAFLD, CKD
Setting up and running a weight loss practice

Whether you're new to this space or already running a dedicated weight loss clinic, there's something here for you.

Come curious. Leave inspired. Connect with your tribe.

You'll also get the chance to network with colleagues working in this space, enjoy morning walks and yoga sessions, and celebrate at the Conference Dinner on Saturday night. If your schedule allows, we would also be delighted for you to join us at the Welcome Function on Friday night.

This is a conference that will remind you why this work matters — and send you home with the knowledge and skills to do it even better.

We can't wait to see you in Cairns.
