About us
RMSANZ functions as an advocacy group for the rehabilitation profession, committed to improving the quality of care of persons with impairment and disability. The objectives of the society unite the membership with its diverse interests and many facets of rehabilitation towards a set of common goals. We seek to work closely with medical colleges, government, health organisations, international and national associations to improve and develop services for rehabilitation in the community.
We are a non profit company limited by guarantee in Australia and New Zealand, governed by a board of directors and a constitution. RMSANZ supports regional branches and special interest groups which have direct input to the board through an advisory council.
A major activity of RMSANZ is the conduct of annual scientific meetings and periodic workshops that explore special areas of interest in clinical practice and research.
