The OCD Intensive — Two Days to Confident, Evidence-Based Care - Live on Zoom November 13 & 14 2025

$2,000.00

OCD is under-recognised, disabling, and misunderstood.

On average, people with OCD wait 7–17 years before receiving the right treatment.

The cost? - an entire childhood or over a decade of adult life lost. It looks like escalating symptoms, family burnout, lost productivity, and stalled treatment outcomes.

OCD is often:

  • Misdiagnosed as psychosis, autism, health anxiety, or something else

  • Treated with generic CBT that misses compulsions or keeps clients stuck in a reassurance loop

  • Accommodated by families in ways that fuels symptoms

The OCD Intensive Symposium is here to close that gap. In two days, medical and allied health professionals will learn to:

✔ Recognise OCD earlier
✔ Deliver evidence-based ERP with confidence
✔ Integrate families and systems into care

Be the clinician who spots OCD early, assesses clearly, and treats effectively.

WHEN: Live Online via Zoom 13–14 November 2025

Addressing your Questions

“$2,000 is a lot. Is it worth it?”
You leave with an end-to-end system, ready to deploy the next day. Two appropriately managed OCD referrals typically recoup the fee. You also get recordings, consults, and a lifetime resource library.

“Will this count for CPD?”
Yes—14 hours. We provide objectives and reflection templates to simplify self-logging in line with AHPRA and RACGP requirements.

“I already ‘do CBT’. Will I learn anything new?”
A lot of clinicians struggle to implement ERP effectively. You’ll learn that when you soften ERP into ‘gentle exposure’ or skip response prevention, you’re not reducing harm — you’re teaching clients that anxiety is dangerous.  You’ll learn ways to keep ERP real by guiding clients through it with compassion, and teaching them that they can do hard things.

“I’m a GP—how is this relevant?”
You’ll get differential tools, brief interventions, medication summaries, and templated letters that streamline shared care with psychology/psychiatry.

“What if I can’t attend both days?”
Recordings and content are available for 60 days.

Reserve Your place today. There are Only 50 places available.

Registration closes November 7th 2025 (or when sold out).
