Abstracts for the 2024 IAHA National Conference are NOW OPEN. Closing 31 May.
IAHA are seeking abstracts for the 2024 IAHA National Conference to be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, Tarntanya (Adelaide).
The conference theme, Honouring our Past and Present to Empower our Futures, recognises the contribution that members, communities and organisations have made, and continue to make, to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and First Nations communities internationally, including:
- building culturally responsive connections, partnerships and relationships;
- valuing cultures and diversity, respecting cultural ways of knowing, being and doing, and embedding the cultural determinants of health;
- contributing to the development of culturally safe and responsive practice within an allied health and/or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander/First Nations health context;
- strengths based solutions led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations peoples and communities to improve access to (allied) health services and education, training, and employment; and
- community-led, translational allied health and/or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations health research.
We are now calling for abstracts for concurrent oral presentations, workshops, and poster presentations under the following streams as they relate to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations allied health and wellness.
- Care – projects, programs, research, and initiatives that focus on allied health service delivery, community development and responsive practice.
- Cultures –projects, programs, research and initiatives that embed Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and international First Nations cultures, knowledges and perspectives and/or address cultural determinants.
- Connection –projects, programs, research and initiatives that are focused on team work, collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to improve health and wellbeing, and which support connection to culture, community and interprofessional care.
- Collaboration –projects, programs, research and initiatives that demonstrate collaboration between organisations and sectors, which may include governments, that exemplify Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and First Nations community leadership and self-determination in partnership.
