About PHA Conference
The PHA holds a conference in a different region each year.
There
are several objectives of the annual conference.
- Education: The conference is a major educational and networking event for groups and individuals working in public
health in New Zealand. It can therefore play a significant role in developing and maintaining the competence of public health
workers whose needs for continued learning and development are ongoing.
- Advocacy: The conference provides an opportunity for publicity and media events on issues of high public health concern.
International and local speakers provide excellent opportunities for advocacy.
- Fundraising: The conference provides an essential basis of financial support for the PHA. It provides funding for the
host branch, and for national operations. It provides funding for the host branch, and ensures the PHA has independent income to advocate for public health free from contractual constraints.
