Clinical Corporate Partnerships announced
Thursday, 7 November 2024

Wounds Australia is pleased to share a new partnership opportunity that better supports clinical members.

Following consultations with Wounds Australia members around the country, we are delighted to announce our Clinical Partnerships, an innovation designed to enhance the membership experience for, and strengthen partnerships with, a valued cohort of organisations.

Partnerships to grow the sector

As the national peak body for chronic wounds, Wounds Australia partners with a range of industry leaders to represent a broad base of stakeholders and work together to grow the sector. We are proud to count among our Gold and Silver Members several organisations that have supported us for many years while, in 2024, we have been pleased to welcome new organisations who help us extend our impact beyond traditional boundaries. Explore our Gold and Silver Partners.

Introducing our inaugural Clinical Partners

We're delighted to share our first four Clinical Partners (in alphabetical order):

Kim Sutton is Chief Executive of the Gold Coast-based Holistic Nursing Solutions, providers of in-home nursing and education and specialist care for people with acquired and catastrophic injury and disability in Queensland and New South Wales. 

"As a company specialising in complex wound care, we are thrilled to be joining Wounds Australia as a clinical member," Ms Sutton said. "I look forward to advocating on behalf of our clients and the broader catastrophic injury and acquired disability community to improve the standard of wound care in Australia. 

"I am excited to see our clinicians benefit from this membership and have them contribute to knowledge-sharing, research and discussions about best practice and ever-improving wound care processes and methodologies."
