SYD25 will be the arena for relentless innovation, where you will be inspired to embark upon an expedition into the multitude of opportunities awaiting you right outside the doors of medical school. Our theme for SYD25 is On The Lookout. Our mission is to

- Invite delegates to a safe and inclusive space free from stigma where they can broaden their perspectives about controversial topics;
- Foster camaraderie amongst medical students from across the country and embolden the national medical community through the wonderfully wholesome chaos that is the magic of Convention;
- Encourage delegates to reignite their passion for lifelong learning through thought-provoking academic sessions and skills based breakouts, promoting inquisitive discussion to voice their ideas and concerns about the state of medicine.
