Thank you for attending the 39th CRANAplus Conference

Dear CRANAplus members, friends, and colleagues,

CRANAplus thanks you for joining us in Kaurna Country for the 39th National CRANAplus Conference held at the Hilton Hotel, Adelaide, from 4 – 6th October 2022.

This year’s theme was Passion. Purpose. Influence. Impact.

The aim was to build on our strengths to improve the health and wellbeing of rural and remote Australians, especially for our First Peoples. By sharing experiences, learning together, and inspiring one another, we will foster passion, maintain purpose, build influence, and increase impact.

The CRANAplus Conference provided an opportunity for like-minded remote and isolated health individuals to network, connect and share. It served as both a professional and social resource for Australia’s Remote and Isolated Health Workforce.

Stay tuned to the CRANAplus website, subscribe to our newsletter, and follow us on social media for updates. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Take care and stay safe,

Katherine Isbister
CRANAplus CEO
