DATES
Do you know of an individual, team or community that is
involved in a program focussed on improving Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander environmental health. If so,
why not share it with colleagues around Australia?
The aim of this national conference is to:
• increase the understanding and awareness of
environmental health issues in Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander communities;
• provide a forum for discussion on Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Environmental Health issues;
• provide a national voice for Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Environmental Health
The conference provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander environmental health practitioners a unique
opportunity to meet in one place, to network and share
information and learn of new initiatives. The conference
theme Building Foundations for a Healthy Community
will be addressed through a number of presentations
delivered predominantly by Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Environmental Health practitioners.
