The Australian Public Health Conference 2020

The Australian Public Health Conference 2020, convened by the Public Health Association of Australia, will be held online as a virtual Conference from Monday 19 to Friday 30 October 2020.

The Australian Public Health Conference (formally the PHAA Annual Conference) is a national conference held by the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) which presents a national and multi-disciplinary perspective on public health issues. PHAA members and non-members can contribute to discussions on the broad range of public health issues and exchange ideas, knowledge and information on the latest developments in public health.

Through development of public health policies, advocacy, research and training, PHAA seeks better health outcomes for Australians. The Conference acts as a pathway for public health professionals to connect and share new and innovative ideas that can be applied to local settings and systems to help create and improve health systems for local communities.

The theme for the virtual Australian Public Health Conference 2020 is: ‘Public Health action: Response to bushfires, climate and coronavirus’.
