The Australian Global Health Alliance Congress 2025
Doherty Institute Auditorium- 792 Elizabeth St, Melbourne April 3rd 2025
How do we reimagine global health for all, and what role does the Australian and regional global health community play? Who makes up this community?

Countries and regions now have an opportunity to sustainably and equitably shape the future. Through snapshot conversations, we will examine the climate emergency and planetary health, gender equality, and humanitarian crises. We will also showcase the benefits of financing global public goods by highlighting selected member-driven R&D innovations and research. This includes the Australian launch of the seminal Lancet Commission on Oxygen Supply, an often overlooked yet critical issue in the region. We are honoured to be joined by visionary thinkers at the forefront of global health, including:
