The 2027 Australasian Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery SET Registrars Conference will take place from 15–19 February 2027 at the Ritz Carlton, Perth.

2027 is a transition year for the conference format. The mock exam will be decoupled from the conference. Attendance eligibility will be based on actual registrations for the Fellowship Exam. Invitations will be sent by ASPS to attend a mock exam in Sydney or Melbourne in April or September or both (dates and venues tbc).
Attendance at the conference is compulsory for all SET Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Trainees in Australia and New Zealand, unless you are attending the 2027 First SET Registrars Conference. SIMGs are also invited to attend.
Environmental impact
As we gather for this important training conference, we also have an opportunity to minimize our environmental impact. ASPS is committed to reducing waste, conserving energy, and making responsible choices, and we invite you to do the same.
Here’s how you can help:
• Offset carbon emissions with your airfares.
• Bring a reusable water bottle and coffee cup to reduce single-use plastics.
• Choose digital resources over printed materials whenever possible.
• Be mindful of energy use by turning off devices when not in use.
We can make a difference by integrating sustainability into our professional development. Thank you for being part of this initiative!
