Facilitators may contact participants directly in the lead-up to the meeting to provide background or preparatory material.

It is anticipated that delegates will be provided with pre-reading material approximately two weeks before the ASM.

There are a small number of online workshops available for delegates who have registered for the ASM onDemand package. These workshops will not be recorded and must be attended in real-time to receive CPD.

Places are strictly limited and are on a first-come first-served basis. Waitlists will remain open until February 2026, after which they will be removed from our registration platforms. Delegates can still revisit and update their registration through their confirmation email leading up to the ASM. Once early bird registration closes on Tuesday 10 March 2026, delegates can enquire at the onsite information desk to check for any available spots if a workshop is fully booked.

The 2026 College Ceremony will be held on Saturday 2 May from 6pm at the New Zealand International Convention Centre.

The College Ceremony is inclusive for all registered delegates and their families. It is a family friendly event.

An ANZCA parents’/carer’s room will be available for parents to use during the meeting. This room will content playing from the main plenary room.

The ANZCA parents’/carers’ room will be open from 8am-5pm from 1-5 May 2026.

Unfortunately, creche facilities for the 2026 ANZCA ASM in Auckland will not be available.

Since COVID, the number of childcare companies willing to provide offsite services has decreased significantly. Insurance and risk management, costs, availability and quality of staff and provision of equipment have all been provided by companies as the reasons why they would not provide an offsite service outside their centre.

The safety of the children using a creche at a college meeting has and always will be a top priority for us. If we cannot guarantee this safety or the quality of a provider, we believe it in the best interests of delegates and their children that we do not provide such a service.

Several of the preferred hotels offer nanny and/or babysitting services.

Our accommodation page will mark hotels that offer these services with an asterisk.
More information coming in November!

An ANZCA parents’ room will also be available for parents to utilise during the College Ceremony. A livestream of the ceremony will be available to view in this room.
