By Us, For Us, With Us:
Leading the future of Public Health through developing the next generation of leaders, innovators and changemakers.
Whether you are a masters student deepening your expertise, an early career researcher finding your footing in the field, or a mid-career professional ready to shape the next phase of your journey, this conference was built with you in mind.
The CAPHIA Early Career Academics Committee brings together thousands of public health educators, researchers and practitioners across Australasia. This inaugural virtual conference is our chance to connect that community in a new way: an accessible online series across four Fridays in September, designed to inspire and equip the next generation of public health leaders, innovators and changemakers.
Each session explores a theme that reflects the real challenges and opportunities facing public health today, from navigating career pathways and harnessing digital innovation, to influencing policy and tackling the growing demands of climate change, equity and global health. Sessions feature keynote speakers, oral presentations and interactive workshops, delivered entirely online so you can participate from wherever you are.
This is your conference. Present your work, hear from leaders in the field, and connect with peers and mentors who are shaping the future of public health across Australasia.
