Australian and New Zealand Moral Injury Conference (ANZMIC) 2026

Australian and New Zealand Moral Injury Conference (ANZMIC) 2026 is organized by Leishman Associates and will be held from May 21 - 22, 2026, at Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Theme: “Moral Injury | From Recognition to Recovery.”

Description:
Moral injury arises when individuals are exposed to events or actions that deeply conflict with their moral or ethical beliefs. Once recognized primarily in military veterans, we now understand that moral injury affects a wide range of professionals-police, paramedics, firefighters, doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and others on the frontline of human suffering.

Its impact can be devastating and enduring, marked by guilt, shame, betrayal, anger, and moral disorientation. Left unaddressed, moral injury can erode identity, trust, and hope, and significantly increase the risk of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual harm.
