If you have an interest in Public or Environmental Health particularly in remote areas, then the webcast from the Menzies School of Health Research is for you.
The Public Health Association of Australia and Menzies School of Health Research are presenting a discussion forum on Environmental Health Issues in the NT, particularly in Intervention affected communities.
One community I know will be interested is Ampilatwatja where 150 residents are now camping in the bush out of the community due to a large sewerage leak that has not been fixed for some weeks.
There will be some discussion on Environmental Health in an Australian context then move onto look specifically at issues in the Northern Territory, particularly in remote communities, ending with an open discussion.
Information on how to view the webcast can be downloaded from the link below. The webcast will begin at 11am Darwin (Central Standard) time and finish at 1pm on Thursday 20th August 2009. A recording will be made and available at the Public Health Association of Australia website.
