This year, the conference will be held at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, proudly co-hosted by the University of Queensland and Griffith University.
Guided by our theme “Challenge Your World”, our committee have put together an exciting program that will educate, inspire, engage and motivate you. We’ve got world-class speakers, challenging workshops, debates and forums all topped off with three fantastic social nights and a chance to meet and mingle with students from all over the country and to discuss and address the pertinent issues in global health.

Global Health Conference 2008, Melbourne
“Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great.
You can be that generation.”
- Nelson Mandela (2005)
‘This year, the theme of the Global Health Conference will revolve around Nelson Mandela’s quote, describing an age of rising global social responsibility, in which it falls upon the current generation not to naively approach those less fortunate, but to unify in principle and action towards a greater goal. Our aim is to inspire, empower and arm delegates with the tangible skills and the knowledge necessary to assist them in bringing about global health equity.’

Developing World Conference 2007, Adelaide
“Pathways for Empowerment”
We plan to illustrate to our delegates the multitude and variety of possibilities for achieving their goals, whether they be career orientated or aiming to provide clean drinking water to refugee camps in Africa. We want to equip delegates with the skills they will need to critically analyze information and situations and work through their needs and available re- sources in order to come up with the best result.

Get inspired. Get involved. Get connected. Get started.
Taking the first step is a national forum for students to explore the role of medicine and health in developing countries. A great opportunity to get involved, share ideas and find out how practising doctors and health professionals took their first steps in the direction of the developing world.
