Our conference role

Arts and Health Australia keenly promotes best-practice policy in arts and health, culminating each year with The Art of Good Health and Wellbeing international conference. The inaugural conference, held in 2009 in Port Macquarie, NSW, brought together Australian practitioners and many of the world's most influential thinkers in the arts and health movement.

Pre-conference training programs and workshops provide practical manuals for implementing arts programs in primary health and community settings, and more opportunities to connect with world authorities in arts and health.

The Arts and Health Conference takes place annually, as well as subsidiary events and training programs tailored around the needs of its healthcare clients. For more details contact AHA direct.
