As Australians lose trust in other institutions such as our political system, a robust medical profession is vital not only for the health of the nation, but also as a resource for other institutions and individuals seeking to advocate for and serve the public good. Dr Davis welcomes this opportunity to share some ideas on how your values and competencies as a doctor can and need to be applied on a wide stage. 12.00pm - 12.10pm Q&A session with speakers 12.10pm – 12.40pm Care stream: Better access and equity in health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders: Caring for indigenous patients and what you need to know as a junior doctor This session will discuss the innovative model of care in place at Inala Indigenous Health Centre for Excellence, which integrates specialist care into the primary health care setting, to improve equity, access and uptake in indigenous health care. Dr Hayman will explore the concept of cultural competency in indigenous care to provide doctors in training with practical advice on how to deliver the best possible health care to their indigenous patients. Speaker: Dr Noel Hayman, General Practitioner, Inala Indigenous Health Centre for Excellence 12.10pm – 12.40pm Career development stream: Super charging your CV and interview skills The first impression you make upon applying for a new job is through your cover letter and resume. Your interview provides the opportunity to maximise on these two earlier introductions and all these crucial career building blocks need to be carefully assembled to ensure they best support your strengths in a competitive jobs market! This session will step through some practical pointers for winning behavioural interview techniques and additionally, development of effective cover letters and resumes. Speakers: Jane Anderson, Career and Executive Coach/Personal Branding Expert and Kylie Chown, Resume Consultant/ Personal Branding Expert 12.40pm – 1.10pm Care stream: Fostering a culturally sensitive environment for refugees People from refugee backgrounds often present as complex patients to junior doctors. Refugee patients can have difficulty navigating the health care system and cultural and linguistic barriers also reduce their health access. Cultural awareness and sensitivity is required when managing refugee patients. Some have experienced torture and trauma, and trust issues can be further complicated by concerns surrounding human rights and social justice. This workshop will provide junior doctors with the skills they need to deliver quality health care to their refugee patients and enable doctors to manage complex health care needs in the cross-cultural space. Identifying relevant resources, learning to use interpreter services effectively and facilitating concordance in management are key components for the delivery of care. Knowing what services exist to support this care is also essential, such as the Mater Integrated Refugee Health Clinic.

In his first speech in the Senate, Bob raised the threat posed by climate change. Government and opposition members laughed at his warning of sea level rises and it took 10 years for them to finally begin to acknowledge the causes and effects of climate change. Since 1996, Bob has continued to take a courageous, and often politically lonely, stand on issues across the national and international spectrum. Some of the many issues that Bob raised in the Senate included petrol sniffing in Central Australia, self-determination for West Papua and Tibet, saving Tasmania’s ancient forests, opposing the war in Iraq, justice for David Hicks, stopping the sale of the Snowy Hydro scheme and opposing the dumping of nuclear waste in Australia. In 2010, Bob led the Australian Greens to a historic result with more than 1.6 million Australians voting for the Greens and the election of nine Senators and one House of Representatives member. As a result, the Greens gained balance of power in the Senate and signed an agreement with the ALP which allowed Prime Minister Julia Gillard to form government. A key part of this agreement was the Greens requirement that a price on carbon be introduced, which led to legislation being passed at the end of 2011. Bob stepped down as Leader of the Australian Greens, and then retired from the Senate in June 2012. After leaving parliament he founded the Bob Brown Foundation to support environmental campaigns and activists around Australia and our region. Dr Chris Davis Director of Geriatrics, Prince Charles Hospital Dr Chris Davis obtained his medical degrees and MBA at the University of Cape Town. He was elected to head the medical students association, at a time when South Africa was divided by apartheid. After serving in clinical and executive roles overseas, he became Director of Geriatrics at The Prince Charles Hospital in 1992. He has served in a number of senior representative roles within the RACP and the AMA. In 2012 he was elected to the Queensland parliament, and appointed Assistant Health Minister. In May 2014 he was dismissed for publicly opposing reduced transparency of political donations.

Quite simply, TRI’s ‘bench to bedside’ capability means research, clinical trial and manufacture of breakthrough treatment and therapies for common and chronic illness and disease occurs in a single location. Internationally renowned for the co-creation of the technology for the cervical cancer vaccines, Professor Frazer began his career as a renal physician and clinical immunologist in Edinburgh, Scotland before immigrating in 1981 to Melbourne. He continued his clinical training and pursued studies in viral immunology and autoimmunity at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research with Professor Ian Mackay. In 1985, Professor Frazer accepted a teaching post with The University of Queensland and was appointed Director of The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute in 1991. In early 2011, Professor Frazer relinquished directorship of the Institute to commence in-post as CEO of the TRI. He retains an active research program at the institute in immune responses to cancer and cancer immunotherapy. Professor Frazer was awarded the 2005 CSIRO Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science and was selected as Queenslander of the Year and Australian of the Year in 2006. He was also awarded the 2008 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science, the 2008 Balzan Prize for Preventive Medicine, the 2009 Honda Prize and in 2011, was elected as a Fellow of the esteemed Royal Society of London.
