It’s Time to Prioritise Musculoskeletal Health in WA

This free public seminar marks the launch of a critical new modelling report forecasting a significant rise in musculoskeletal conditions in Western Australia through to 2045. Led by Monash University in collaboration with Curtin University, Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA, and HelloJP Consulting, the research predicts up to a 51% increase in cases and a projected cost exceeding $2.25 billion to the WA health system. The event aims to raise awareness and drive policy reform by presenting key findings and engaging stakeholders in a panel discussion. Attendees will hear directly from researchers, participate in a facilitated expert panel, and enjoy a networking reception with canapés and drinks. This seminar is essential for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and advocates committed to addressing WA’s fastest-growing health burden through evidence-based action and collaboration.
