Wounds Australia 2026 Conference
Strengthening networks
Navigating new frontiers for better healing
Welcome
In 2026, we continue our mission to minimise the harm caused by wounds in Australia. Over the years, clinicians, researchers and industry have worked together to achieve remarkable progress in wound prevention and management.
Yet, the journey is far from over. Australia’s wound epidemic remains a pressing challenge, and our most powerful tools—education, collaboration, product innovation and research—remain at the heart of our response. These are the cornerstones of the Wounds Australia 2026 Conference.
