Vaccine hesitancy isn't just a public health problem. It's a communication problem, a psychology problem, and increasingly, a policy problem. This event cuts to the heart of why evidence alone doesn't change minds, and what it takes to shift behaviour at scale.

Keynote Speaker:

Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, Chair of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Bristol and one of the world's foremost misinformation researchers.

Panellists:

Professor Katie Attwell from the VaxPol Lab at The University of Western Australia, a leading expert on vaccine policy and immunisation politics.
Professor Ullrich Ecker from The University of Western Australia, whose research on false beliefs and how to correct them is reshaping how we think about health communication.

Moderated by:

Emily Roper, Former Director General at the Department of Premier & Cabinet

Attendees will leave with a sharper understanding of the cognitive and social drivers of vaccine hesitancy, practical insights into what the evidence says about effective communication, and a clearer sense of the policy levers available to governments and institutions navigating this terrain.

Whether you work in health, policy, communications, or research, this is a must-see conversation.

Registrations open at 5:30PM and the event will commence at 6:00PM.
