It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to my hometown
of Brisbane for the annual Australasian Military Medicine
Association Conference.
With all that has occurred in the world in the last year, our
2017 theme recognises the important and diverse role that our
military medicine personnel take on during times of political,
social, and environmental unpredictability.
With an overwhelming number of high quality abstract
submissions this year, I am pleased to welcome you to three
days of informative sessions, engaging keynote speakers and
exciting social activities.

MarooCHY BaraMBaH – SonGWoManSongwoman Maroochy is the Songwoman & Law-woman of the Turrbal People – the original inhabitants of Brisbane. She is a direct descendant of Daki Yakka – Chief of the Old Brisbane tribe – a man nicknamed “the Duke of York” by the European settlers in the Moreton Bay area in the 1830s when Brisbane was a penal settlement.
In 1989 Maroochy became the first Aborigine to perform on the Australian operatic stage when she made her debut in Black River. She also became the first Australian to perform at the United Nations in New York, in honour of the International Year for the World’s Indigenous Peoples in 1993. Over the years Maroochy has also appeared in numerous television programs including The Flying Doctors, Winner Take All and Women of the Sun, as well as films including Bran Nue Dae.
The Traditional Blessing performed by Songwoman Maroochy is Monda Barita – a song of prayer asking the Almighty and our ancestors to be with us all at the gathering.
Maroochy has received many awards (both in Australia and overseas), including an Honorary Senior Fellowship of the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2000 for her outstanding and sustained contributions to the community.

roCkTaPeRockTape is a brand of kinesiology tape. It was created in the USA by Greg Van den Dries in 2009 and soon after that – in August 2010 – RockTape Australia opened for business.
Since then, we have continued to develop and add to our range of products to help people move better. When people move better, they tend to move more. More human movement is our goal. With the advent of the desk job, smartphone, TV, and computer, people are sitting down more than ever before. Some Australians sit for more than 8 hours a day, which is longer than many people spend sleeping. Our bodies weren’t built for that, and it’s starting to take a toll.
We have continued to add to our range of products:
2010 – RockTape
2012 – Topical analgesic – RockSauce
2013 – Protective apparel – Knee Caps and RockGuards
2015 – Mobility products – RockNRollers and RockBalls
2016 – IASTM product – RockBlades
We hope you love the RockTape range of products as much as we do, but if you don’t, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee. So what do you have to lose?
