The 2023 AIDA Conference

AIDA’s annual conference brings together Indigenous medical students, graduates, medical professionals, and those interested in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health around Australia. 

The multi-day event provides invaluable opportunities for those attending to network and share experiences with peers, as well as a platform to learn, develop and share individual stories in a culturally safe environment.

OUR SOVEREIGN PLACE IN HEALTH

The 2023 AIDA Conference theme is Our Sovereign Place in Health. We acknowledge that we have tens of thousands of years of history in health, we have self-determination in health and we have our rightful and deserved place within the health system. We acknowledge workforce equity and our part of being within the workforce.
