Call for Abstracts - EXTENDED

We invite abstract submissions for long oral, rapid fire and conversation starter presentations.

​

The 2024 Conference theme is: ‘High value public health in a complex world’.

​

Promoting and investing in a public health system to ensure it meets the needs of all people should be a priority in Australia. As a public health profession, it is critical that we continue to listen to, and advocate for, diverse voices. This is especially pertinent as public health concerns and committing to the implementation of the National Preventative Health Strategy have not received the attention they deserve.  Collaboratively, we need to scale up efforts to ensure greater understanding by the public and decision makers that groups and communities within Australia face unique and complex challenges.

​

The outcome of The Voice Referendum came as a shock to many in the public health community. After the Voice, it is more critical than ever for the public health profession to advance and promote public health issues, and to recognise voices in our community who are being left behind or who have historically been marginalised in health decisions which affect them. We will host this discussion by bringing together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, students and community members who have a strong commitment recognising the diverse needs of our community, driven by evidence and experience.

 

We warmly encourage you to lock the date in your diaries to join us in Perth for the Australian Public Health Conference 2024.
