The Conni Awards

Good care changes lives.
So does recognition.

Since 2004, Conni has sponsored continence nurses to attend conferences around the world, recognising their work and helping knowledge grow within Australia’s continence community.

The Physiotherapist Award extends that recognition to practitioners making an outstanding contribution to continence health and patient education.

Two awards. One shared purpose.

A commitment worth celebrating

What are the Conni Awards?

Since 2004, Conni has sponsored continence nurses to attend conferences around the world in recognition of their work and to support knowledge within Australia’s continence community. The Physiotherapist Award recognises contributions to continence health and patient education.

Who can apply for a Conni Award?

The original guidelines were for health professionals working in continence management. Both nurse and physiotherapist applicants were required to be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Confirm the requirements for any future award round with Conni.

What do I need for an application?

Examples included conferences attended, papers written, community work, personal education and training, patient or client education, and peer support. The historical 2020 guidelines also required attendance at the 2020 Conni Conference. Future requirements should be confirmed with Conni.

What do award recipients receive?

Historically, the awards have supported conference attendance. The archived 2019/2020 information advertised flights, accommodation and registration for the 50th ICS Annual Meeting, scheduled for Las Vegas from 26–29 August 2020. This describes the historical advertised prize, not a current offer. Check with Conni for details of any future award.
