Why Blugibbon Is the Official Provider of Caffeine at the Melbourne ASM 2026

If you have ever walked through a medical conference exhibition hall, you know the drill.


Rows of booths.

Branded pens.

Plastic stress balls.

A recruiter asking “Are you looking for work?” before they have even learned your name.


That is not us.


If you are attending the RANZCP Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Melbourne in May 2026, there is one thing you should know.


Blugibbon is the official provider of caffeine. β˜•


And that is completely intentional.


Why We’re Buying the Coffee for Psychiatrists


Congress week is full.


Early mornings.

Heavy clinical discussions.

Packed lecture theatres.

Workforce panels.

Research updates.


Psychiatrists carry enormous responsibility all year. ASM week is inspiring, but it is also intense.


Coffee creates pause.

Pause creates conversation.

Conversation builds trust.


We are not interested in standing behind a booth asking if you are looking for work before learning your name.


We are interested in real, face-to-face conversations about your career in psychiatry.


That is why we are showing up as the caffeine providers.

ο»Ώ Locum doctors and nurses across Emergency, Psychiatry, Surgery, ICU, General Practice, and Medical specialties give a lot. Long shifts in Emergency. Emotionally demanding work in mental health. High-pressure theatres and ICUs. Busy GP clinics. RMOs rotating through unfamiliar teams and hospitals. Add shift work, nights, weekends, and constant change, and it becomes clear why wellbeing matters so deeply for healthcare workers , especially those working locum or rotating contracts. At Blugibbon, we believe supporting doctors and nurses means more than filling rosters. It means creating community, balance, and continuity , particularly for those working across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. That is why we are opening up a free monthly wellbeing session for doctors and nurses , regardless of specialty or contract type.
