PHARMACIST Walter Mikac will present the Alan Russell Oration at the Australasian Pharmacy Professional Conference and Trade Exhibition (APP2026), where his speech, titled ‘Resilience for life: turning tragedy into purpose’, will offer a renewed perspective on life’s challenges.

Mikac lost his wife and two daughters in the Port Arthur massacre, changing the direction of his life.

He has since become a speaker, author, advocate for positive change, and founder of The Alannah & Madeleine Foundation, a national charity dedicated to keeping children and young people safe from violence and trauma.

“We are delighted to welcome Walter Mikac to APP2026,” said conference convenor Kos Sclavos.

“His ability to turn unimaginable personal tragedy into a message of hope and purpose will deeply resonate with our delegates.”
