Overview

The theme of the conference is A 'fair go' for health: tackling physical, social and psychological inequality. The PHAA conference will bring together expert researchers, practitioners and policy workers who are taking action on social inequalities in health. The sharing of knowledge through keynote papers by leading international and national figures, and presentations of the latest Australian research, will be just the beginning. All those attending will also have the opportunity to learn about and contribute to the development of PHAA policy and advocacy on issues of current concern to public health.

The three sub-themes for the conference are physical, social and psychological inequalities, and abstracts are invited on, but not limited to:

• inequalities in physical and natural environments - improving built and natural environments, climate change and food security
• psychological inequalities - promoting community mental health and wellbeing, and addressing health-related behaviours and psychology
• social inequalities - addressing the social determinants of health.

Abstract submissions close Friday 15 March 2013.
