CCR Down Under 2025


Registration has opened for CCR Down Under in Melbourne, on December 9th and 10th, again at the Edge in Federation Square.

We aim to bring another set of fantastic international critical care trials to Australia. If you are interested in the science underlying clinical practice, this is the meeting for you.

We're delighted to be partnering once again with the Alfred Intensive Care Academic Centre, and this year, with Monash University.

If you missed the presentations last December, the presentations of the so far published trials are available here.
