Aboriginal Health Conference 2025 | Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 August 2025 |
The 2025 theme Writing the Narrative – Telling Our Stories highlights the power of stories and how they shape identities, preserve culture, and influence change. In Aboriginal health, storytelling is more than just sharing experiences; it is a tool for healing, advocacy, and self-determination. This conference centres on the strength of Aboriginal voices in shaping health policies, services, and outcomes. By reclaiming our narratives, we challenge outdated models, highlight community-led solutions, and ensure that Aboriginal ways of knowing and being are embedded in healthcare. Through shared stories, we empower individuals, strengthen communities, and create a future where Aboriginal-led health initiatives thrive.
We are now calling for abstracts for oral presentations and e-poster presentations under the following streams:
While these streams are provided for guidance, abstracts may be applicable across multiple streams, and all innovative projects, programs, research, and initiatives are encouraged to submit.
All abstracts will be considered based on the merit of the individual submission and will be assessed according to the following criteria:
Abstracts that align to a conference stream are preferred, but not essential.
