ABOUT TLC

Tasmanian Lifestyle Congress (TLC) provides Optometrists a unique educational experience in beautiful Hobart. This year, there will be an extensive program of high quality speakers including Alex Hewitt, Jack Phu, Kristin Bell and Joshua Clark.

For the first time, Optometry Tasmania will host a grand rounds session to showcase interesting cases from colleagues. Presentations will be chosen from the submitted abstracts, based on the quality of clinical findings, management and discussion.

A social function on Saturday evening at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania provides an opportunity for you to enjoy good conversation and the best of Tasmanian produce, overlooking the picturesque River Derwent.

The conference includes an extensive trade expo operating next to the educational sessions. This is an opportunity to meet with trade exhibitors and get acquainted with the latest innovations in optometry. The free CooperVision Breakfast is once again being held on Sunday morning.

The conference venue is the Wrest point Hotel situated on the Sandy Bay waterfront and features some of the best views in the city. The Wrest Point is located a short taxi ride to Salamanca Place, Battery Point, Hobart CBD and the Brook Street Pier for ferries to various water and wilderness tours.

More information about the program will be available soon.

CPD

How can I obtain the maximum amount of CPD Hours available at Tasmanian Lifestyle Conference

  • Attendees who attend all the sessions each day including the sponsored breakfast each day, AND achieve a 50% pass on the optional assessment component will obtain up to 17.5 CPD hours including 5 Therapeutic hours.

Will the Tasmanian Lifestyle Conference include ‘interactive’ hours? 

  • TLC is a face to face event and, at present, there are “2Ti” hours planned including assessment.

Do I have to complete the assessment program?

  • Optometry Australia members: You do not have to complete any of the Assessments but they will assist you to gain more CPD hours e.g. upon successfully answering at least 50% of each assessment correctly, you will be awarded with an extra 0.50 hours of CPD in addition to the time spent attending the presentation.

CPD Learning Plan

Will my attendance be automatically upload into my Institute of Excellence Learning Plan, and when can I complete my Learning Plan reflections? 

  • Optometry Australia members: Optometry Australia will automatically upload the presentations that you attended into your Learning Plan after the conference. This will take between 5-7 days after the conference. You can then login and enter your reflections for each session. If you would prefer to enter your reflections during the Tasmanian Lifestyle Conference, you will need to manually enter your sessions into your Learning Plan. You can do this by clicking here and adding each session/lecture you have attended by selecting the Conference topic in Step 1 and step 2.  

  • All other delegates: You will receive a copy of your attendance certificate as proof of participating in the CPD program. However, this will take a few weeks before the certificates will be ready.


Will sessions be recorded?
