HealthInfoNet Cafe

The Mental Health Conference was held at the Perth Convention Centre. This conference was combined with the WA Transcultural Mental Health and the Australasian Refugee Health Conference. The two HealthInfoNet cafes were run by Belinda Urquhart, Tara Hoyne, Kathy Ride and Christine Potter. The feedback from many delegates were that they were pleased to find a free health resource on Indigenous mental health. Our recently printed ‘Summary of Australian Indigenous health, 2009' was very popular among delegates.
