In early June, just as winter arrived, we journeyed to the picturesque location of Launceston to host our eagerly anticipated Tasmania Meet-Up.

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect, with the charming city of Launceston providing a beautiful backdrop for our event.

Bringing together a diverse group of individuals, including healthcare professionals, members, and supporters, we all enjoyed delicious food at the stunning venue of Alida Restaurant at Penny Royal. The ambience was warm and inviting, making everyone feel right at home.

This casual member meet-up, aptly named ‘Conversations with IDFA,’ symbolised our community’s commitment to learning about each other and supporting one another. It was a reflection of our collective growth, resilience, and vibrancy.

We were honoured to welcome guest immunologist Paul Cameron, who provided guests with an insightful overview of his work. He generously answered any questions, fostering an environment of learning and curiosity. The intimate setting allowed for casual conversations between guests and experts, creating a space for meaningful connections and knowledge sharing.

This event also provided an invaluable opportunity to discuss ways to build lasting connections through the IDFA Coffee Club and other in-person and online activities. It was a chance for everyone to explore new avenues for engagement and support within our community.

What an incredible gathering it turned out to be! The room was filled with smiles, laughter, and the formation of meaningful connections, making this event truly special and memorable for all who attended.
