RMA27 is heading to Gimuy (Cairns)!
Rural Medicine Australia returns to Gimuy (Cairns) next year, bringing rural and remote doctors from across the country together in one place.
Across four days, you’ll hear from experts and keynote speakers exploring the issues, ideas and experiences shaping rural medicine, while earning CPD hours along the way.
And a big part of RMA is the people. Seeing friends, meeting new people and spending time with others who are doing the same work as you, just from a different corner of Australia.
Whether it’s your first RMA or you’ve been before, we’d love to see you in Gimuy (Cairns).
Program to follow.
Dates: 27 – 30 October 2027
Venue: Cairns Convention Centre, Cairns
