12th National Health Promotion Conference, Melbourne, Australia

Invitation from The Victorian Minister for Health

As Health Minister of Victoria, I warmly invite you to attend this exciting National Health Promotion Conference. Understanding the social determinants of health, and how they impact on health inequalities is an increasingly important priority for the human services sector in Victoria. Based on the keynote speakers attending, and the contributions of registrants, I am confident the conference will contribute to a greater understanding of the inequalities of health, and will help achieve further gains in the health status of the populations that we serve. THE HON JOHN THWAITES MP MINISTER FOR HEALTH

Deakin University- Chair, Program Committee

PROFESSOR SANDY GIFFORD
