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.
