About the Event

HEAL 2025 is a four-day hybrid conference exploring the urgent health, climate, and environmental challenges facing Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and the world.

Kicking off with a pre-conference session on Asia-Pacific on 3rd November, the program brings together leading voices from Australia and internationally to spotlight community-led responses to environmental change.

From 4–6 November, the main conference will showcase how the HEAL National Research Network and other groups are shaping innovative research to support Australia’s National Health and Climate Strategy, national and regional decarbonisation and adaptation plans in Australia and the Asia-Pacific, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a strong commitment to elevating First Nations and grassroots leadership.

The hybrid conference will be delivered in-person at eight regional hubs across Australia on 4th November, and online nationally and internationally on 3rd, 5th and 6th November. HEAL 2025 offers multiple ways to connect, collaborate, and drive action for a healthier, climate-resilient future.

HEAL 2025 Conference is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). There are no fees associated with registering for the conference.
