Austrauma will once again be held at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in the middle of the CBD and right by our famous and magnificent harbour on the 15th and 16th February 2008. It promises to be an outstanding two days of conference. This time we are very pleased to announce a special half day pre-symposium workshop on 14th February 2008, which will be run by a team of excellent facilitators.

Participant numbers continue to increase each year and this year we have a new Military Session in order to open our doors to the Defence Force. At present health professionals attend from the disciplines of prehospital, intensive care, general and specialty surgery, anaesthesia, emergency medicine, nursing, rehabilitation and allied health. Each year we also have an increasing number of colleagues based in rural, metro, interstate and international locations attending.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. On behalf of the Austrauma Organising Committee, I look forward to your participation in this educational event.
