NATSIEHC27 is heading to the iconic Adelaide Oval, on the lands of the Kaurna people, from Monday, 17 May to Wednesday, 19 May 2027.

Now in its 11th year, NATSIEHC has grown from a determined gathering in 2017 into a national force for change — a space to centre Mob, grow leadership and transform how eye health care is understood and delivered in our communities.

This year’s theme, “Seeing Our Way: Innovation, Excellence and Healing,” celebrates First Nations leadership, knowledge and community strength. Across three unforgettable days, you’ll be part of powerful conversations, inspiring keynotes, cultural experiences and hands-on workshops — all driving towards better eye health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Adelaide Oval is located on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains. Situated in the heart of Adelaide on the banks of the River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri, Adelaide Oval is one of Australia’s most iconic sporting and events venues. Renowned for its heritage-listed scoreboard, picturesque setting and blend of historic and contemporary architecture, the Oval provides a unique setting for NATSIEHC27.

• Hear from Mob, Elders, health professionals and community leaders.
• Connect with sponsors, policymakers, researchers and innovators.
• Celebrate culture through performances, the Jilpia Nappaljari Jones Memorial Oration, delivered by Sara Carrison, and our Awards Night and Gala Dinner at Adelaide Oval.

Early bird pricing is now open and tickets are limited.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the only national conference dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander eye health.
