The Australian Health Promotion Association 19th Annual Conference

"Walking Together Talking Together: Partnerships for Health Promotion"

When: 30th May - 2nd June 2010
Where:  Sebel + Citigate Albert Park, Melbourne

The Australian Health Promotion Association (AHPA) welcomes members and the wider health promotion community to our 2010 national conference focused on partnerships.

In the future, to continue to effect change in the health of the population, collaborative partnerships between health promotion practitioners, people working in other sectors and community members are critical for progress.

Australia: The Healthiest Country by 2020 - National Preventive Health Strategy – the roadmap for action, report released in September 2009, provides an opportunity for expansion and broader approaches in health promotion. AHPA’s conference will explore the outcome of recent health sector reviews and discuss the role of partnership-based approaches to health promotion in addressing the challenges posed by Social Determinants of Health.
