COMPASS 2026 WORKSHOPS & ACTIVITIES

Wellbeing lounge activites

Make wellbeing part of your Compass experience 

Take a break, recharge, and reconnect at the CRANAplus Wellbeing Lounge. The lounge provides a welcoming place to step away from the bustle, take a breath, and focus on your wellbeing between presentations and networking opportunities. 

Meet therapy dogs

Visit the CRANAplus Wellbeing Lounge to spend some time with the friendly therapy dogs. Whether you need a quiet moment between sessions or simply want to enjoy a furry cuddle, stop by and give yourself a chance to pause, recharge and reset. 

Friday 14 August, 10:00am-3.30pm  

Location: Hall 1 foyer area 

 

Pre and post-conference workshops

A series of optional workshops are being offered before and after the Compass Conference program.

Workshops will be held on Thursday 13 August, at the Charles Darwin University Danala Campus, and the afternoon of Saturday 15 August at the Darwin Convention Centre.

We encourage you make the most of these opportunities by attending workshop(s) relevant to your role and professional development.
