What our members are saying

“As a long term member of ARNA I have had the pleasure of meeting and networking with so many other rehabilitation nurses. It is an honour to be part of such a highly esteemed organisation that prides itself on continually delivering the highest standards and advancements towards rehabilitation nursing. I have attended several inspirational conferences and day seminars which have made me more informed and ultimately able to transfer this knowledge into the workplace to enhance the patient journey during their Rehab hospital stay.”   Denise, St Andrew's Hospital,QLD
