Keeping it social – how to survive and thrive in public conversations online

In this much anticipated webinar, Deakin academics share their personal stories of survival on social media. It is an opportunity to learn tips and strategies from our own experts as they detail the good, the bad and the ugly of their interactions within the online world.

We will discuss how to connect with an audience, build your brand and lead robust engagement. We will also hear from Deakin’s social media experts, who have guidance and resources to help when things turn toxic, before a Q&A with the panel.

The panel includes IHT’s Catherine Bennett and Samantha Thomas.

Date: Thursday 22 September

Time: 12-1.30pm

The John Deeble Lecture and PanelDiscussion: Towards an integrated workforce

Held during the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association’s AGM, the John Deeble Lecture has been established by the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association to commemorate the life achievements of Professor John Deeble, distinguished scholar, health economist and health policy leader. Often dubbed ‘the father of Medicare’, John was a conceiver, implementer and defender of universal healthcare for nearly 50 years.

In this, the 2nd Deeble Lecture, Mr Michael Brennan, Chair Productivity Commission, will consider those health workforce related policy measures that are required to ensure the most appropriate workforce to meet prevailing needs. 

Following the lecture, Anna Peeters will moderate a panel discussion reflecting on the complexities of the health workforce and the way we manage and set health workforce policy in Australia.

Date: 26 October 2022
