Wounds Australia is the new national company entity that members voted for to enhance the ability to act as Australia’s peak body for Wound Management representation and consultation.

We wish to express our thanks to the outgoing AWMA Committee, especially Margo Asimus, for her unrelenting focus and drive to create Wounds Australia.

The new Wounds Australia Board met for the first time in December 2015. The new Board spent our first meeting establishing a working structure and drafting a strategic plan for Wounds Australia to drive our actions for 2016 and beyond. We have identified that there is work on internal structural development that will initially take some time to complete and ask for a little patience while we get these structures functioning.

We are very aware that our members are looking for information on what is happening and are anxious to know how Wounds Australia will continue to support them.

Look out for board communiques to all members following board meetings. There will also be briefs provided in consultation with state branch Presidents on actions needed to keep the branches running smoothly and helping to support their member’s needs. Over time our website will change with the new logo and renewed vision statement.

With the help of members the board of Wounds Australia is looking forward to creating an organisation that is outstanding in its representation as the peak body and in supporting its members.
