Topic Specific Meetings


As we get ready to welcome you to ANZSCoS 2025 in Brisbane, we’re excited to share something a little different — and very Brisbane.

In the spirit of our theme, “The River of Innovation,” we’re taking a fresh look at how we structure some of the conference. This year, you’ll see a series of topic-driven sessions designed to spark real, cross-discipline conversations. They will reflect how we work: as integrated teams, side-by-side with peers and consumers, solving problems together.

Of course, we know how important profession-specific connection is — those spaces where you can talk openly with people who do what you do, share wins, challenges, ideas, and maybe a drink or two. We’re not losing that — we’re making space for both.

We would love for each discipline to take the lead on organising an informal get-together during the conference. It might be a breakfast, a dinner, or something more creative. These catch-ups will sit outside the formal program but are strongly encouraged and will be part of the wider ANZSCoS experience.

The (5) Topic-specific meeting titles are as follows:-

  1. Voice Quality and Respiratory Management in Spinal Cord Injury – "Let's Talk About Voice" 
  2. Unlocking Access and Empowering Independence after Spinal Cord Injury: Advancements with Eye-Gaze, Assistive Touch, Head Tracking and Beyond 
  3. Thriving Beyond Injury: The role of leisure, sport and social wellbeing in Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation
  4. Bridging the Divide: Strengthening approaches to Spinal Cord Injury Funding across Australia and New Zealand
  5. Beyond the Scales: Collaborative approaches to addressing Obesity and health in Spinal Cord Injury care
