Keynote: Investing to save - valuing the mental health of our workforce
Insights and Incentives
While employers benefit directly from a mentally healthy workplace, most need further encouragement to undertake the investment. Mental health is still stigmatised by much of Australia and is often seen as a disability rather than a health issue.
But mental health is also a distinctly personal issue experienced by one in five Australians every year and impacting many more.

Prof Dr Catherine Crock AM - Host
Introduction: Kindness works here
In a world where technology is enabling rapid near unforeseeable changes, we are losing our grip on the simple human interactive skills.
In Healthcare, we use the latest machines, research and training initiatives but our people nurturing and hierarchical systems are 20 years behind. Our most valuable assets – our people - are under strain and threat.
