Wounds Australia was previously known as the Australian Wound Management Association before it was nationalised in 2015. The Australian Wound Management Association itself was established in 1994 after a committee was established to oversee its formation the previous year. Over the years we have worked hard to forge strong links with other international wound healing societies, and even helped found the World Union of Wound Healing Societies with the First World Wound Healing Congress held in Melbourne in 2000.
