Working Towards Preventative Health Management

Why Attend Population Health Management 2010?

The rise in chronic illnesses is costing taxpayers $6 billion a year and as a result improving Australia’s health and wellbeing has become a renewed focus of the Australian government.

With the National Preventative Health Taskforce releasing ambitious health targets including: stopping and reversing the rise in overweight and obese Australians, and reducing the frequency of daily smoking to 10 per cent, health organisations need to move fast to develop successful programs.

Population Health Management 2010 is the best place to hear about the innovative and successful strategies Australian and international organisations have adopted to reduce preventable chronic diseases and tackle obesity, alcoholism and smoking.

As a special addition to the 2 day conference, delegates will also be given the opportunity to participate in a highly interactive focus day which will tackle the issues of population health management for Indigenous Australians. Join the policy makers and discuss the best strategies for tangible progress.
