For the 10th successive year the AFR Health Congress convenes a premier forum of industry leaders and experts to examine the challenges to our healthcare system and debate the need for reform and new directions.

The 2008 congress will examine industry issues, innovations and solutions that have emerged in the previous year. Held at a critical time for healthcare, in the aftermath of a federal election, when reform is hard pressed to keep pace with the rapidly changing profile of the Australian health consumer, this will be the perfect opportunity for you to find out the new directions for healthcare policy.

Some of the many topics discussed will include:

  • National mental health policy: the urgent need for reform
  • Rationalisation of the PHI industry
  • Crossing the State / Federal administrative divide
  • Chronic disease management
  • Improving consumer access in primary healthcare
  • Investing in the nation through rural health
  • Harnessing the mixed private & public health systems
  • A future health system architecture based around the consumer
  • Pharmaceuticals and PBS
  • Indigenous Health - where do we go wrong?
  • Charting the safety & quality of Australian Healthcare
  • eHealth enabling better safety and quality
  • Technology as an enable of remote diagnostics
