We're giving one lucky professional the chance to win this excellent PD prize: a trip worth $2600 to join us in 2026. 

The biennial Wounds Australia Conference is the highlight of the wound care calendar and, next year, we'll be hitting Adelaide. 

Network-building and innovation

Almost a thousand passionate care professionals joined us on the Gold Coast in 2024 to experience four days of learning from wound experts from Australia and beyond. 

In Adelaide, we'll be programming a series of fascinating workshops and presentations exploring this exciting theme – Strengthening Networks: Navigating new frontiers for better healing. 

How to enter

As part of our commitment to improving wound care practice and reducing the harm caused by wounds, we are delighted to support a professional to join us at this must-attend event in 2026. 

The prize worth around $2600 includes: 

• A Conference registration worth up to $1100, including a ticket to join us at wound care's 'night of nights' – the Conference Gala Dinner
• Up to $1500 to support travel and accommodation (booked for you by Wounds Australia).

Simply join or renew your Wounds Australia membership by midnight AEST on Sunday 8 June to be automatically entered into the draw. 

The winner will be chosen at random by Wounds Australia and notified within one week.
