The National Prevention Summit is hosted by the Australian Institute of Health Policy Studies (AIHPS) and the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has announced the Australia 2020 Summit to address long term challenges confronting Australia's future including the challenges of preventive health.
Now is the best opportunity to contribute to the national agenda. The National Prevention Summit will bring together leaders from State, Territory, Commonwealth and local government, non-government organisations, health services, the corporate business sector, academic institutions and the community to develop a platform for working together to strengthen our collective prevention initiatives. This summit will explore realistic mechanisms for achieving an integrated effiecient and cooperative approach to prevention.
The time to act is now. The number of Australians with chronic disease, mental health problems, and serious disabilities will increase dramatically over the next few decades as a result of population ageing and a lack of concerted and effective long term prevention initiatives in health care, business and community.
