It’s 1st March, and that means we are officially open for registration for the NZSDRT Inc. 29th National Virtual Conference 2025!
This year’s theme, Whakawhānui i ngā Here – Expanding Boundaries | He Anamata Kore Here – A Future Without Limits, celebrates how Diversional and Recreational Therapy in Aotearoa is breaking free from traditional roles and expanding into new sectors, including mental health, disabilities, corrections, and brain injury rehabilitation among others.
We are excited to confirm several international speakers and leading national presenters, with sessions exploring:
AI in Therapeutic Recreation
Dark Leisure and its impact
The evolving role of DRT in corrections and disability sectors
Innovative approaches to supporting brain injury recovery
These are just a glimpse of what’s to come — full programme details will be released soon.

Attending professional conferences like this is more than just learning — it’s about ensuring we uphold best practice, stay current with global trends, and commit to continuous improvement in the way we support the people we work with every day.
We look forward to learning, connecting and growing with you this August!
