The Menzies Centre for Health Policy invites you to join us for the 3rd annual Emerging Health Policy Research Conference.
The conference will showcase the work in progress of current doctoral and post-doctoral researchers. We invite researchers working in all areas of health policy – including international health, health systems, history of public health, indigenous health, health economics and health promotion – to submit an abstract of their presentation.

Professor Don Nutbeam, Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, will deliver the morning keynote address and Dr Helen Zorbas, Director of the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre, will conclude the conference with a session on evidence into clinical practice.
