Rural Medicine Australia 2026 (RMA26)

Rural Medicine Australia 2026 (RMA26) is the premier annual gathering for rural doctors, medical students, and healthcare professionals across Australia. Hosted by the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA), this conference is designed to deliver a powerful combination of professional development, networking, and cultural immersion. Over four days, participants will engage in a diverse program of clinical education sessions, workshops, and plenary discussions led by experts in rural and remote healthcare. The event provides a unique opportunity to sharpen clinical skills, learn innovative approaches to delivering care in resource-limited settings, and explore strategies for advancing rural health equity. Beyond the academic program, RMA26 emphasizes community and connection. Attendees will have the chance to meet colleagues from across the nation, share experiences, and mentor the next generation of rural practitioners. Social events and networking opportunities are woven throughout the program, ensuring that professional relationships and friendships flourish. The conference also celebrates the achievements of rural healthcare professionals, recognizing their dedication and impact on communities. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Adelaide—renowned for its food, wine, and cultural attractions—RMA26 offers not only professional enrichment but also a chance to experience the hospitality and heritage of Kaurna Country. With the momentum of RMA25 in Perth, which drew over 900 attendees and featured more than 100 sessions, RMA26 promises to be the biggest and most engaging edition yet. Whether you are a seasoned rural doctor or a student aspiring to serve in remote communities, RMA26 is the place to connect, learn, and be inspired.
