On behalf TSBE and our event partners, we are delighted to introduce the 2018 Conference on Chronic Disease in Regional and Rural Australia: Obesity, Prostate Cancer and Mental Health.

Each year, USQ’s Institute for Resilient Regions hosts a week of activities highlighting its research programs and partnerships aimed at improving the prosperity, health and well-being of regional and rural Australians. This year their theme is on chronic disease with a focus on obesity, prostate cancer and mental health in regional and rural communities and asking the question: Are we being innovative with the solutions?

As part of this year’s Resilient Regions activities, TSBE will be facilitating a full day conference on Thursday, October 18.

We are currently experiencing a divide between urban and rural Australia in terms of healthcare. This disparity between the health of regional and urban communities will be the key focus when we hold this Resilient Regions Conference in Toowoomba, which will provide individual sessions to bring awareness and discussions to the issues of obesity, prostate and mental health.

The conference will bring together international research experts, health professionals and key regional stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities for bridging the urban and regional divide in Australia and to promote the discussion around better innovation for health and wellbeing.
