ANSA 2026 CONFERENCE - AUSTRALUA
Neurotherapy Across the Lifespan
QT Hotel Gold Coast • 12–13 September 2026
The 2026 ANSA Conference is an Australasian event bringing together clinicians and practitioners working across neurofeedback, neuromodulation, and applied neuroscience, along with educators, students, and other professionals with an interest in the field. Through presentations, speakers, and shared clinical experience, the conference provides a strong learning environment alongside opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. With a focus on real-world application, it explores how these approaches are used in practice to support assessment, intervention, and outcomes across the lifespan.
Designed for clinicians seeking practical and clinically relevant insights, the program explores how neurotherapy approaches are applied in everyday settings, including assessment, protocol selection, and intervention strategies.

All Levels Master Class
14–18 September 2026 • Available in person and online
This five-day training provides practical instruction in EEG, QEEG, ERPs, neurostimulation, and neurofeedback. The course combines didactic teaching with hands-on application, and case formulation including protocol development.
Topics covered will include:
- EEG acquisition and recording
- QEEG analysis and interpretation
- Event-related potentials (ERPs)
- Neurostimulation approaches
- Neurofeedback applications
*See event page for detailed content of course*
*There is no need to own or purchase the Neurofield systems to attend the training - it is relevant acoss many systems. The Neurofield EEG aquisition software is compatible with Mitsar amplifiers, and some others.*
