AGM

This year’s theme for the 12th Annual Ray James Memorial Lecture is Climate Change and Health. We are delighted to welcome our special guest speaker Tarun Weeramanthri, independent consultant in public health and adjunct professor from the School of Population and Global Health, University of Western Australia.

Tarun is a specialist in both internal medicine and public health and was Chief Health Officer in Western Australia (WA) from 2008 to 2018, and in the Northern Territory (NT) from 2004 to 2007. He has particular interests in policy and regulation, emergency preparedness, chronic diseases, Aboriginal health and the application of new technologies to public health.

In 2014, Tarun was awarded the Sidney Sax Medal by the Public Health Association of Australia, for his contribution to public health in Australia. In 2018, he received the Minister for Health’s Award, the highest individual excellence award given by WA Health, for an outstanding commitment to a healthier Western Australia. Tarun is currently finalising an inquiry into the Impacts of Climate Change on Health in WA, on behalf of the WA Government.
