Health Inequalities Forum
The Whitlam Institute Health Inequalities Forum was held on Tuesday, 11 October 2005, at the University of Western Sydney's Parramatta campus. The forum took as its starting point the UK approach to coordinating public health, and examined the efforts in NSW to align human services for greater impact and the forces which shape these endeavours.
The keynote speakers were Professor Don Nutbeam, Pro Vice Chancellor and Head of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Sydney and former Head of Public Health in the Blair Government's Department of Health, and Mr Andrew Cappie-Wood, Director General, NSW Department of Education and Training and Managing Director of TAFE NSW.
Responses to the keynote addresses were delivered by Professor Diana Horvath AO and Professor Beverley Raphael AM. Professor Horvath is currently CEO of Sydney South West Area Health Service. Professor Raphael heads a new centre for research in mental health and adversity, including trauma and disaster management, at the University of Western Sydney.
