CRANAplus welcomes you to join us in Kaurna Country for the 39th National CRANAplus Conference at the Hilton Hotel, Adelaide, from 4 – 6th October 2022. This year’s theme is Passion. Purpose. Influence. Impact. Our conference provides an opportunity for like-minded remote and isolated health individuals to network, connect and share.
CRANAplus supports isolated and remote health professionals through the challenges they face. Our not-for-profit organisation delivers undergraduate scholarships, post-graduate scholarships, industry awards, and remote health course attendance grants. We produce guidelines and position statements, and advocate for change on issues that matter to our membership. Our services empower remote and isolated health professionals to develop their career and deliver effective remote healthcare.
The CRANAplus Bush Support Line is vital in retaining a healthy, resilient remote health workforce. Our Bush Support Line offers free 24/7 confidential mental health support to health professionals servicing outback towns, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and other remote, isolated destinations. We distribute mental health and wellbeing resources, content and products to support isolated and remote health nurses, midwives, and others in remote healthcare jobs.
