Join us in 2026 for CRANAplus’ Remote Nursing & Midwifery Conference, the event that brings Australia’s remote health workforce together from all corners of the country. From 11 – 13 May, 2026, we’re gathering at Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre (PCEC) in Boorloo/Perth, on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people.

This year’s theme, ‘Distance. Dedication. Difference. The future of remote health‘ will explore the challenges of delivering healthcare across Australia’s vast distances, honour the dedication of healthcare professionals working tirelessly to overcome these barriers and spotlight those making a real difference in our rural and remote communities. By focusing on innovation and commitment, the theme emphasises the profound impact these efforts have on shaping a future where quality healthcare is accessible to all, regardless of location.

No matter where you’re based, what role you play in healthcare, or what stage you’re at in your remote health career, this is your conference. It’s a chance to connect with, and learn from, like-minded professionals who understand the unique challenges and opportunities we face in this industry, so we can head back to our communities feeling informed, energised and inspired.

So, let’s get together in May and push the boundaries of what’s possible for the future of remote health.

We can’t wait to welcome you!
