Careers Expo 2025 – Flinders University
This networking event includes a panel conversation by Early Career Optometrists (ECOs) sharing their experience and answering questions about their first years of practice. First, there is a closed-door session to give you the opportunity to hear feedback from the panel and ask questions about navigating your early career. A short presentation from Optometry Australia will also refresh you on contracts and considerations.
This is followed by our career Trade Hall, where you can meet a variety of employers and practices.
The event will give you valuable insights from ECOs into working in optometry today and the opportunity to network with prospective employers who will provide information about their practices and potential employment opportunities.
Catering will be provided on the night.
