One of the greatest public health challenges confronting Australia and other industrialised nations is the obesity epidemic.
In an effort to relieve the cost of obesity to the public health system the Australian government is investing millions of dollars in the prevention and management of obesity related chronic diseases. With Australia ranked as one of the most overweight developed nations in the world, it’s time to ask questions and take action.
Ongoing obesity research and review of public health policies present the perfect opportunity to discuss and share insights on alternative strategies and the shift from treatment to prevention.

The five themes that form the program framework - Climate Change; Social Inclusion; Human Rights; Resourcing Change; and Healthy Ageing - are expected to stimulate new conversations as well as explore in more depth more traditional subject areas. Each theme will be informed by international and regional frameworks including United Nations (UN) Principles for Older People, the UN Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and the Active Ageing Framework of the World Health Organization.

The motivation and training of students to train in caring for older persons is another key component. To ensure quality of care for older persons both now and in the future, issues regarding the labour market and labour saving must be brought into focus. How can we create greater efficiency of care by means of, for example, technological support? Innovation, new ideas and creativity in organizing care will be highlighted during the Congress.
