2025 Health Professional Seminar Series Breastfeeding: supporting the journey

Notice for Brisbane seminar registrants:

Unfortunately, due to the impact of ex-Cyclone Alfred, ABA has reluctantly made the decision to cancel the HP live seminar event in Brisbane on Tuesday 11 March 2025. ABA apologises for any inconvenience this may incur but we believe ongoing electricity infrastructure and public transport issues together with flooding will make it challenging for registrants to attend.

All registrants will have access to the full program of presentations online after March 31 2025. It is ABA’s intention to hold a live seminar event in QLD later in the year. Further information will be provided to registrants via email.

The Annual Health Professional Seminar Series 2025, Breastfeeding: supporting the journey, will bring together thought and practice leaders, via our live seminars held in four major cities across Australia and the online program.

The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is the leading provider of breastfeeding education in Australia, with a long tradition of providing high-quality evidence-based breastfeeding education for health professionals.
