RMA25 has a beautiful new look - same incredible conference! 😍

Each year, RMA collaborates with Indigenous artists from our host region to create unique branding that celebrates and honours the local Indigenous community. This tradition ensures each conference carries the authentic spirit of its place.

Our RMA25 artists, Darralyn and Kirk Ugle, have created something truly spectacular for us, drawing inspiration from the vibrant Noongar countryside of south-west Western Australia and the deep connections that bind communities together.

"The painting tells the story of our land and people through colour and connection. The bright hues celebrate our native wildflowers that bloom across the countryside, while the purple honours women's business and the blues flow like our precious waterways. White travelling lines map the journeys that connect us all, weaving between native plants that represent our diverse regional areas. The six large circles symbolise the Noongar nations and their sacred interconnectedness."

This stunning piece captures something essential about rural health – how our smaller communities are always woven into larger networks, connected through the vital health systems that serve us all.

You will see this beautiful artwork throughout our RMA25 branding and communications - refreshed with the authentic beauty of Noongar country.
Click through to our website to see this gorgeous new artwork in action! We hope you love it as much as we do!

🎤 RMA25 Keynote Speaker Announcement

Meet Professor Jenny May AM – a true pioneer who has dedicated over 35 years to transforming rural healthcare across Australia.

Professor May's journey began with her first rural placement in 1980, followed by training at Tamworth Hospital in 1985. Since then, she has lived the rural health experience alongside her doctor husband and family in various remote and regional locations across Australia. Her deep understanding comes not just from professional expertise, but from personally navigating the challenges and rewards of rural practice.

With fellowships from both RACGP and ACRRM, Professor May brings unparalleled experience spanning clinical practice, research, education and advocacy. Her groundbreaking contributions to health workforce research have shaped policy and practice nationally and internationally. In 2016, her distinguished service to rural community health was recognised with an AM.

Now serving as Australia's third National Rural Health Commissioner – an appointment widely celebrated by the rural health community – Professor May continues to be a powerful voice for rural healthcare transformation.
Hear from a leader who truly understands the rural health landscape from every angle.

🎤 RMA25 Keynote Speaker Announcement

Meet Akram Azimi – from refugee to 2013 Young Australian of the Year, his story of resilience embodies the courage and determination that drives rural medicine forward and will inspire every healthcare professional.

When Akram fled war-torn Afghanistan and arrived in Australia in 1999, he transformed adversity into opportunity through sheer determination. He overcame significant disadvantage to excel academically across law, science and sociology. Since 2007, he's been a university educator and advocate who co-founded the reconciliation organisation "I Am the Other" and secured $100M in government funding for polio eradication. Today, he continues championing social justice, education and reconciliation.

Akram's message of perseverance and hope will resonate deeply with rural healthcare professionals who face their own unique challenges every day.

🚴‍♀️ Olympic Gold Pedals to RMA25!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our special keynote speaker for RMA25 - Olympic champion Grace Brown OAM!

This cycling sensation traded her running shoes for bicycle wheels in 2015 after battling injuries and quickly became one of Australia's most decorated cyclists. Her impressive collection includes gold medals from the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the 2024 World Championships.

Grace made sporting history as the first athlete ever to win both Olympic Gold and World Championships in the same year! Her Olympic triumph in Paris was nothing short of spectacular, finishing a remarkable 91 seconds ahead of her closest competitor on the 32.4km course.

Born in Camperdown, Victoria, Grace's meteoric rise in cycling began with the Amy Gillett Cycling Scholarship in 2018, leading to her professional debut with Wiggle High5. Her career highlights include victory at the prestigious Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes in 2024, and her Olympic gold was especially meaningful after narrowly missing the podium with a fourth-place finish in Tokyo.

Having recently announced her retirement, Grace will be sharing her extraordinary journey of determination, resilience and sporting excellence with us at RMA25. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia's greatest cycling champions!
