The 2026 theme is:

Rehabilitation Reimagined: Honouring the Past, Shaping the Future

 

This year’s conference celebrates our journey so far and explores how the wisdom of our past continues to inform bold new directions in rehabilitation, leadership and rehabilitation in our nursing practice. 

Across inspiring speakers, collaborative discussions and evidence‑based sessions showcasing the essential role of rehabilitation in nursing in optimising rehabilitation outcomes, we will reflect on the past, examine emerging models, and envision the next era of rehabilitation. Grounded in our shared history and propelled by innovation, this gathering is an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible for the people and communities we serve. 

Join us as we celebrate together to honour the legacy that shaped us — and ignite the future we are ready to create.

The ARNA Annual Conference is the largest gathering of rehabilitation nurses and subject-matter experts from around Australia and New Zealand. Up to 200 rehabilitation nurses attend the annual conference to hear from international and local rehabilitation specialists and subject matter experts providing the very latest information in rehabilitation care. It is an action-packed two days of professional development, networking and fun!
