Wounds Australia is Australia's peak body for chronic wound advocacy, education and awareness-raising.
Vision and mission
Wounds Australia (Opens in new tab) strives to ensure the more than 450,000 Australians yearly suffering wounds receive the best possible care.

We acknowledge the social determinants of health and our actions are informed by evidence and research.
