2025 Australian & New Zealand Stroke Organisation Conference

2-5 September 2025

Hotel Grand Chancellor
Hobart, Tasmania

The 2025 Australian & New Zealand Stroke Organisation Conference (ANZSOC) has the theme Towards Equity in Stroke.

We have made great advances in reducing the incidence and improving the outcomes of stroke. Yet, we know there are large disparities in access to care for the prevention, acute care and rehabilitation of stroke. At ANZSOC 2025 we will explore how we can address these inequities by sex or gender, age, socioeconomic status, geographic location and stroke type.

Tasmania is the ideal location to explore this intersection of factors because of its unique characteristics. It is an entirely regional state, with a small and dispersed population, facing high levels of socioeconomic deprivation and an ageing population. However, these challenges bring many opportunities for innovation and collaboration across the health and community sectors to reduce the burden of stroke.

Invited speakers include:

• Cheryl Bushnell, Center for Transformative Stroke Care
• Nele Demeyere, University of Oxford
• David Seiffge, University of Bern
