Since the inception of Andrology Australia in 2000, the foundations of an evidence-based men’s health program in community and professional education have been established. A broad range of activities has been undertaken with the support of many collaborators, and major achievements seen in men’s health education at both the community and professional levels. With the success of previous forums, Andrology Australia wishes to convene another 1 1/2 day forum with Affiliates and other associates who have worked with the program in the past. The intention of the Forum is to: - Update Andrology Australia associates and other interested participants, on research, policy and practice initiatives that aim to reduce the inequities of men's health Within the context of the primary objective, the meeting has three subsidiary objectives; 1. To describe current knowledge in regard to the inequities of men's health across research, policy and practice domains 2. To identify gaps in knowledge 3. To facilitate the development of effective research, policy and practice strategies in response to the identified gaps The meeting is being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Coogee Beach, situated a few kilometres from the centre of Sydney and opposite the beach with easy access to golf courses, water sports, shopping, dining, and energetic nightlife. We welcome your attendance at the Forum and in the process confirm your commitment and vision to better health for men in Australia. Prof Rob McLachlan Director, Andrology Australia |
