Our long-awaited Refer a Friend promotion has arrived, giving Wounds Australia members the chance to win an unforgettable professional development experience at the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) Conference 2027 in Finland – simply by referring a colleague to join Wounds Australia.

From 1 August to 31 October 2026, every successful referral will earn both the new member and the referring member an entry into the prize draw.

The prize includes $2,500 towards flights and accommodation, plus complimentary registration to the EWMA Conference (valued at around $1,000), giving one lucky member the opportunity to attend one of the world's leading wound care events.

How it works

Taking part is simple.

When a new member joins Wounds Australia, they'll simply nominate the person who referred them. Once the new membership has been verified, both members will receive an entry into the prize draw.

The more colleagues you refer, the greater your chances of winning, with every successful referral earning an additional entry.

The winner will be announced at the Wounds Australia Annual General Meeting in November 2026.

Why refer a colleague?

Every new member strengthens our wound care community.

By referring a colleague, you'll help embed best practice wound care across more care settings by expanding access to evidence-based education, professional development, advocacy and collaboration across the sector. Together, we're building a stronger voice for wound prevention, management and healing while supporting better outcomes for people living with wounds.
