With world-class sessions, unique member benefits, and the vibrant city of Perth as the backdrop, this is an event you won’t want to miss.


Registrations 

AGW 2026 will feature several major highlights, including:  

Friday 28 August - Pre-events now available at significantly reduced rates for GESA members:

  • Research Workshop, ‘Frontiers in Gastroenterology Research: From Bench to Bedside’
  • Postgraduate Course, A comprehensive Postgraduate Course in its forth year supporting both trainees and established clinicians

 

 

The GESA Postgraduate Course returns to Perth in 2026 for the final year of its established fouryear educational cycle, offering an intensive, practicefocused update for Advanced Trainees, Fellows, Junior Gastroenterology Consultants, or more experienced Consultants seeking a refresher on the fundamentals of clinical practice in Gastroenterology & Hepatology.

This fullday program will bring together leading Australian and International invited experts to deliver a structured curriculum spanning key domains of luminal gastroenterology, hepatology, pancreatobiliary disease, and functional and nutritional disorders. The course will emphasise practical decisionmaking, guidelinealigned management, and realworld clinical challenges. In addition, experts will share their 5 top 'trips and traps' for each of the topics covered.

Designed to complement FRACP training requirements and provide a clinically focused approach for more senior gastroenterologists, the 2026 course will consolidate the knowledge built across the previous three years of the cycle, making it particularly valuable for advanced trainees nearing completion of training, as well as consultants seeking a focused update.  All sessions will be recorded to develop a comprehensive resource available through the GESA website and will be available to registrants after the course.
