Event description

Tasmania’s health system is under pressure. With rising chronic disease rates and limited resources, the structures designed to keep Tasmanians healthy must evolve to meet growing demand. While treatment remains essential, attention is turning to a more urgent question - what does it mean to prevent illness before it begins?

This conversation explores what we know about improving health outcomes, and how prevention is defined, prioritised and funded. It brings together experts who will consider what you can do, how systems operate, who decides, and who is being left behind in Tasmania’s health story.

The experts
  • Professor Verity Cleland, preventative health expert, Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania

  • Professor Martin Hensher, health economist, Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania

  • Dr Michelle Morgan, Senior Policy Analyst and Wellbeing Framework project lead, Department of Premier and Cabinet
