The Injury Prevention Summit is a one-day event held biennially by Injury Matters, via the Know Injury program, with funding from the Western Australian Department of Health. The Summit will be held on 11th May 2023 and will bring together injury prevention and safety promotion practitioners, policymakers, and Local Governments from across Western Australia to share knowledge and build capacity to integrate injury prevention and safety promotion practices into their work.
The Summit will showcase speakers who will explore key emerging issues in the injury prevention space, ranging from alcohol related injury to safer built environment. The Injury Prevention Summit aims to facilitate collaboration within the sector by exploring the cross-cutting factors contributing to injury, while providing the space to exchange knowledge, ideas, and information across WA.
Expect Keynote presentations from experts Denise Sullivan, Director of Chronic Disease Prevention at the Department of Health, Lucy Saunders, Director and Founder of Healthy Streets, and Professor Tanya Chikritzhs, lead of the Alcohol Policy Research team at the National Drug Research Institute.
The Summit is a great networking as well as a professional development opportunity for public health students and professionals, with the event being a hybrid (online and in-person) event so you can dial in from home/your workplace or attend the full day event in person!
