Strengthening networks
Navigating new frontiers for better healing
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.
Guided by the theme “Strengthening networks – Navigating new frontiers for better healing,” this year’s Conference will be held from Sunday 23 to Wednesday 26 August 2026, Adelaide, Australia under the leadership of Professor Allison Cowin and Dr Peta Tehan. It promises to be our most ambitious yet.
The Conference is your opportunity to connect with fellow healthcare professionals, sharpen your skills, and explore the latest in wound research and cutting-edge technologies. With a program designed to foster collaboration and innovation, Wounds Australia 2026 Conference offers real solutions to the challenges you face in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
For more than three decades, Wounds Australia has championed the needs of people living with wounds—and the dedicated professionals who care for them. We’ve advanced clinical practice, supported education, fostered research, and partnered with industry, all in pursuit of better wound care for more Australians.
The Wounds Australia 2026 Conference is both a celebration of our collective achievements and a call to action for the future. We hope you will join us.
We look forward to welcoming you in August 2026.
