We’re excited to announce Dr Norman Swan as a keynote speaker for the 2nd Australian Biosecurity Symposium, taking place on the Gold Coast from 3-5 May 2022.
The symposium, proudly hosted by Animal Health Australia, the Invasive Species Council, the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions and Plant Health Australia, provides the ideal platform to explore how to transform Australia’s biosecurity systems to better protect our economy, environment and way of life.
Dr Norman Swan is one of Australia’s most well-respected health journalists, with an international career spanning more than three decades. A past Gold Walkley winner, Dr Swan has shone a spotlight on public health issues across shows such as RN’s Health Report, ABC’s 7.30 Report, Four Corners and Coronacast – a daily podcast on the coronavirus – and will be presenting on our session theme “Mainstreaming biosecurity: turning buzzwords into a way of life”.
In his keynote address, Dr Swan will share his experiences and knowledge in ‘mainstreaming’ important messages to a broad audience – bridging the gap from awareness to practice change.
His address will provide delegates with key takeaways on how we can mainstream the importance of biosecurity practices, bringing about positive and sustained engagement from the broader population.
Australia’s biosecurity system faces unprecedented pressure. To address this pressure, strong leadership and innovation is essential.
