Welcome
The Conference Committee, on behalf of the Australian Hand Therapy Association, invites you to join us at the 2026 AHTA Annual Conference being held at the Pan Pacific Perth, Perth, Western Australia, from the 28 - 30 August 2026.
This year’s Conference theme is The future at our fingertips: Advancing hand therapy across the lifespan. This reflects our professions commitment to advancing the knowledge and use of innovation in our hand therapy practices for all patients throughout their lifespan, utilising the wisdom of research and clinical practice and incorporating the innovations becoming available to us all.
The conference will be a hybrid event, however we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in-person at the conference.
The conference will include an exciting line-up of expert clinicians and researchers presenting cutting edge presentations and diverse sessions that will ensure therapists take home current practical ideas for clinical intervention and research.
Please join us in Perth from 28 - 30 August 2026, to learn, be inspired and network with colleagues!
