Dear All,

Registrations open 4th March 2025 for Rehabilitation Medicine Society of Australia & New Zealand (RMSANZ) 8th Annual Scientific Meeting. 

On behalf of Rehabilitation Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand (RMSANZ), New Zealand Rehabilitation Association (NZRA) and our Organising Committee, we are delighted to invite you to our Rehabilitation Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand 8th Annual Scientific Meeting in conjunction with New Zealand Rehabilitation Association (RMSANZ NZRA 2025), which is being held in Ōtautahi Christchurch, from the 20 – 23 July 2025.

The theme for the conference is Building Lives. This theme speaks to the people we look after, the clinicians and allied health representatives involved in their care and our venue. Te Pae Convention Centre sits at the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch. Te Pae aligns with the Māori concept of ki uta ki tai (from the mountains to the sea) – the movement of water through the landscape and the numerous interactions it has on its way, symbolising our client’s rehabilitation journey.

The program will showcase the breadth and depth of rehabilitation. We are delighted to have international guest speakers Dr Nathan D. Zasler and Dr Kathleen Sluka join us along with our binational leaders in the field of rehabilitation. We will provide a forum for Rehabilitation Medicine Physicians and our colleagues from Allied Health, Nursing and related medical specialities to share knowledge, skills, experiences and opportunities to network. We envision this conference as a space for innovative engagement and dialogue focusing on health-optimising solutions in rehabilitation service delivery across the lifespan.

Kind regards,

RMTV
