Shaping Tomorrow: Innovation, Integration and Impact 

We are excited to welcome you to the 10th International Tracheostomy Symposium, returning to Melbourne, Australia, the city where it all began, in collaboration with Austin Health, the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative and the Royal Children’s Hospital. 

Over the past decade, this symposium has grown into a leading international platform for clinicians, researchers, health professionals and most importantly, patients, families and carers, to come together to share knowledge, drive innovation and improve outcomes for people with tracheostomies across the lifespan.  

The 10th International Tracheostomy Symposium will continue to build on this legacy, with a strong focus on partnering with patients, families and carers. Their lived experience remains central to shaping best practice and future directions in tracheostomy care. 

The scientific and clinical program will showcase world-class speakers, the latest evidence and innovations, and practical insights from multidisciplinary teams. Sessions will highlight collaborative models of care, global health perspectives, and consumer co-design in tracheostomy services.  

Beyond the academic and clinical program, we invite you to enjoy all that Melbourne has to offer, from its vibrant culture and culinary scene to its warm hospitality.  

Whether you’re joining us as a delegate, speaker, partner or sponsor, we look forward to welcoming you to celebrate this special 10th edition of the International Tracheostomy Symposium. A chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and look ahead as we continue to innovate, improve and inspire the future in tracheostomy care.
