Join Health and
Wellbeing Queensland and Queensland Health to celebrate, acknowledge and be
inspired by the amazing work delivered by, led by and experienced by
Queenslanders from across the State at the Queensland Prevention Symposium.
Working together to make healthy happen across
clinical and community environments, in partnership with all levels of
government, academia, community and social sectors, we are privileged to
highlight the breadth of work being done to improve the health and wellbeing of
Queenslanders.
The Symposium will draw on the experiences of
our communities and our delivery partners, along with a variety of invited
international and national speakers and panelists to recognise the capability,
passion and commitment of Queenslanders who are working hard to drive better
outcomes for their population and support the health of our State.
We are delighted
to also be welcoming representatives from the International Network of Health
Promotion Foundations (INHPF) to the Symposium this year, as their Annual
Meeting will be hosted by Health and Wellbeing Queensland as part of the larger
event program. The INHPF includes representation from Singapore, Thailand,
Tonga, Taiwan, Korea and Australia, and is supported by the World Health
Organisation and the Tobacco Control Funds of Southeast Asia, Vietnam and Laos.
Symposium session content will be relevant to
policy makers, practitioners, advocates and stakeholders, consumers, educators,
and community leaders and will include a selection of plenary and concurrent
sessions, in both facilitated panel and individual speaker format.
We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane this September.
