CAPHIA is guided by a Constitution and a robust governance structure to represent the collective views of our members.
Development and execution of CAPHIA's strategy is led by the Executive Committee. The Committee membership is guided by the Constitution which emphasises representation and diversity of our Australasian makeup.
In addition to the Executive Committee a number of governing and operational groups exist to progress the 2021-2024 Strategic Plan:
Activities and impact of these groups can be found in the regular member newsletter as well as in the 2020-2021 Year in Review.
The CAPHIA Constitution was accepted at the Special General Meeting on May 10th 2022.
Both full membership and affiliated membership is available. Full Membership is open to Universities in the Australasian region which offer degree programs and research in public health.
Affiliated Membership is open to associations and organisations which support the aims and objectives of the Council and are involved in public health training, but do not qualify for full membership.
