Advocacy In Action
Advocacy is one of the four pillars in the CAPHIA 2025-2027 Strategic Plan. CAPHIA work with our staff and students from our member institutions, along with our strategic partners and networks to advocate for academic public health.
Our vision is for a robust, evidence-informed and well-resourced Australasian public health system with a sustainable workforce that meets existing and future public health needs. We also aim to build an increased understanding of, and investment in, academic public health.
Our advocacy work is led by the Advocacy and Engagement Committee:
