Brisbane – The Host City
Brisbane in July is the most liveable of Australia’s major cities.
With a July maximum of 20°C and a minimum of 10°C it is a
place many Australians head for in winter. The easy access
to the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the Lamington
Plateau all makes Brisbane a very popular destination.
The
Convention & Exhibition Centre is adjacent to the Brisbane
River and to an attractive restaurant and shopping precinct.
It is quite simply one of Australia’s best Congress venues. |

Welcome to the Congress
This is the Congress that is set to become one of the
major population health events on the Australian and
New Zealand stage in the 21st Century. The national
Population Health Congress brings together Australia
and New Zealand’s four leading professional population
health organisations for a four yearly event.
The historic
cooperation of these organisations has created the
environment for what will be a very large gathering of
population health professionals, and will provide the
opportunity for working across and within organisations
on key population health issues as well as unparalleled
opportunities for networking.
The Congress will take place from 6–9 July 2008, at the
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, set on the
beautiful Southbank precinct. There will be a very engaging
program around the theme ‘A Global World – Practical
Action for Health and Well-Being’. The program will also
include three sub-themes, which will each be the focus of
one day of the Congress. These sub-themes are:
* Environment and Health
* Social Cohesion, Social Capital and Health
* Food and Health
We look forward to having you along to this historic event.
