AFAO National Symposium on Prevention

The establishment in April 2008 of the National Preventative Health Taskforce was an important part of the Rudd Government’s health reform agenda. The Taskforce was charged with the development of the National Preventative Health Strategy, which was to initially focus on obesity, tobacco, and excessive consumption of alcohol. In June 2009, it released ‘Australia: the healthiest country by 2020.’

Following the conference, AFAO held a National Symposium on Prevention on Thursday 27 May. Please contact Phillip Keen on pkeen@afao.org.au for more information.
