CHeBA's Professor Perminder Sachdev is a Keynote Speaker at this forum.
This conference will bring together academic researchers, policy makers, practitioners, service providers, and non-government organizations to consider and discuss Mental Health issues confronting rural and regional Australia.
This conference has a triple focus:
- to share knowledge amongst attendees with different professional backgrounds and concerns, but a shared interest in the future of rural and regional Australia;
- to engage in critical analysis of issues and problems;
- to develop practical strategies for delivering greater research and results for rural and regional communities
It is expected that speakers will cover a wide range of issues from diverse perspectives and will include papers from both science and social science approaches. There is a particular interest in applied research, and the final day of the program will showcase applied research in a dedicated forum.
The conference organising committee encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presenters and those working with Indigenous communities to submit papers for presentation across all theme areas.
