The 2019 RACGP Practice Owners Conference—Australia’s premier event for practice ownership strategy and general practice business growth—sold out in advance, drawing a record 750 attendees over the weekend of Saturday 18 – Sunday 19 May at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. Tailored for current and aspiring GP practice owners and managers, the conference delivered insights on future‑proofing practices, demystifying Medicare, and building a sustainable business model .

Keynote speaker Dr Louise Schaper, CEO of the Health Informatics Society of Australia, delivered a powerful address on navigating digital disruption and innovation in healthcare, urging GPs to become “architects of their own destiny” amid technological transformation. The program continued with interactive expert panels, including discussions on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) review, staying compliant, reducing administrative burden, enhancing practice efficiency, safeguarding patient information, and effectively managing teams within a fast‑evolving healthcare landscape.

Beyond education, the conference emphasised peer‑to‑peer networking through live polling and community engagement via the conference app. Attendees cited “knowledge, inspiration, ideas, motivation”—a reflection of the event’s commitment to building a strong practice management community.

Capturing these powerful moments of learning, connection, and professional development was Sydney Event Photo, who served as the official photographer for the Conference. Their expert visual storytelling rendered the dynamic atmosphere—from keynote speeches and workshops to networking receptions—into compelling images that brought the event to life for attendees and for RACGP’s future promotional and archival use.
