CSANZ 4th Indigenous Cardiovascular Health Conference
June 17 @ 8:00 am - June 19 @ 5:00 pm AEST
The 4th Indigenous Cardiovascular Health Conference of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand will be held in Sydney, Australia from 17-19 June 2025.
Over the last decade, the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) has increased its attention and focus on the burden and inequalities in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) experienced by Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Māori and Pacific peoples in Australia and New Zealand. Central to the CSANZ’s mandate, driving better cardiovascular health outcomes for all communities is a core ambition.
CSANZ has convened meetings focused on CVD in Indigenous communities in 2009, 2011 and 2019, each of which produced important recommendations that if implemented, would guide improved Cardiovascular Health for the regions’ First peoples. In Australia, prior outcomes of these meetings have informed the establishment of National Programs and policy to reduce CVD inequity.
The aims of the forthcoming Conference are to move beyond describing the inequalities that exist and explore the role of self-determination of Indigenous peoples in improving CV outcomes.
The Conference seeks to involve 200 delegates from across Australia and New Zealand to chart the way forward for CSANZ in partnership with Indigenous communities and service providers. We invite those working in the Cardiovascular and Indigenous Health sectors, including:
- Cardiologists / Medical Specialists
- General Practitioners
- Nurses, Allied Health and Public Health Workers
- Indigenous Health Practitioners
- Registrars
- Government and Health Department Officials
- Policy Drivers
- Health Promotion Specialists
- Non-Government Representatives
We look forward to sharing this unique event and welcoming you to Sydney in 2025.
