Conference Presentation Archive 2008-2012
The Maternal and Child Health Conferences provide an opportunity for the workforce to come together twice a year and learn about a range of subjects and areas that impact on their work. They assist participants in understanding key strategic drivers directing their work and current developments from within and outside their professional field. Importantly the conferences provide an opportunity to network across the profession, the tiers of government and academia.
