The Festival of Nursing is an annual conference run by the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA).

With a program developed by expert nurses, for nurses – the Festival of Nursing provides nurses with the exact education they require and desire to return to practice equipped with the skills and confidence to transform the care of their patients. Nurses also have the opportunity to explore and connect with exhibitors throughout the event to discover the latest developments in the primary health care landscape.
