Overview

The 14th Australian Health Promotion Association Annual Conference was held in Sydney from the 16 - 20 June. The conference theme, 'Made in the future', a conference on leadership, capacity building, evidence and advocacy, highlights factors that are vital to successful Indigenous health practice and policy at all levels.

Of particular relevance to Indigenous health promotion practitioners was the National Indigenous Health Promotion Network Leadership Forum, titled Building vision and purpose: linking past events with present strategies to create a better future. The morning session enabled members to explore and discuss the development and focus of the Network: its activities, its directions and its purposes. The afternoon forum provided a structure for looking nationally at successes in Indigenous health promotion. Guest speakers provided examples of how strategic leadership and capacity building were working in their local areas.
