WELCOME

On behalf of the University of Queensland’s Centre for Online Health (UQ-COH), I am very excited to announce plans for our next Successes and Failures in Telehealth (SFT) Conference which will be held in Brisbane, Australia in November 2026. 

You are invited to be part of this special event as we celebrate 25 years of SFT.  The SFT theme has stood the test of time, delivering a dynamic forum for delegates and industry partners to share their experience and ideas related to the developing field of telehealth and virtual care.

As our health system continues to evolve, it is vital to maintain momentum in advancing virtual care, not only to improve access and efficiency, but also to deepen our understanding of how innovative care models impact patients, providers, and communities.

SFT-26 will be a showcase for innovation, collaboration, and critical reflection, and we invite you to contribute your insights when abstract submissions open later in 2025.  

We welcome presentations from researchers, health professionals, service providers, and government representatives. All aspects of virtual care are encouraged, including clinical case studies, service models, formal evaluations, implementation strategies, and activity reports. Importantly, we value lessons learned from both successes and failures.  Each story helps shape the future of virtual care.

Also, look out for new opportunities to join our SFT organising committees, become a sponsor, and apply for scholarships.

We look forward to seeing you in Brisbane in November 2026.
