UPCOMING EVENTS

EMDRAA Conference 2025

The 2025 EMDRAA Conference in Adelaide was a vibrant, inspiring gathering that brought together mental health practitioners, researchers, and EMDR professionals from across Australia and beyond.

Across the keynote, workshop, panels and symposiums, and networking events, attendees explored innovations in trauma therapy, refined their clinical techniques, and reconnected with the heart of their work.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our keynote speaker, Dr Suzy Matthijssen, for traveling to Australia, our presenters, attendees, volunteers, and committee members. Your contributions made this conference a powerful reflection of who we are and where we’re headed as an association.

If you secured a virtual or full conference registration, you have exclusive access to watch the 2025 EMDRAA Conference recordings at your convenience. Available until 1 November 2025. Don’t miss the opportunity to revisit your favourite sessions or catch up on any you may have missed!
