Addressing health inequity Professionalism

Join us for the RANZCP Advocacy and Networking Event focusing on advocacy for a health-led approach to youth and adult offending.

Speakers

  • Dr Sarah Dorrington, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist
  • Dr Petra Melis-Walsh, Advanced Trainee Paediatrician
  • Mr Lachlan Rowe, RANZCP NT Branch Community member

People involved in the criminal justice system often come from backgrounds of significant trauma and social disadvantage. A health-led response is critical to address this, and requires developing and implementing targeted efforts toward prevention, early intervention, diversion, and community support.

 We aim to highlight and deepen discussions on the need for collaboration between Federal and Territory Governments. This is critical to support the long-term success of any investment or reform. 

Online registrations close 5pm, Friday 22 November 2024.

In person registration has now closed.

The RANZCP is mindful of the health risks posed by COVID-19, and the importance of following official medical advice with respect to social distancing, practicing good hygiene and staying at home when unwell.

The RANZCP is monitoring the latest health advice from both the Department of Health (Australia) and the Northern Territory Government, and we ask that all delegates do the same. If we are required to make any changes or cancellations to our conference due to government restrictions in relation to COVID-19, delegates will be notified by email and will be provided a full refund of their registration fee.
