The conference, held in Canberra in September 2001, provided the HealthInfoNet with an opportunity of sharing its work and its vision with more than 300 Indigenous and non-Indigenous delegates from all parts of Australia. The theme of the Institute's 2001 conference - 'The power of knowledge, the resonance of tradition in Indigenous Studies' - was reflected in a diverse range of sessions on various aspects of Indigenous studies, a number of which were devoted to health-related issues.
The HealthInfoNet is grateful to the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies for their support of a HealthInfoNet cafe to introduce delegates to online services and technology providing information on Indigenous health.
