This year’s forum, titled ‘Health security and economic growth in Asia-Pacific–challenges for Australian aid?’ will focus on the relationship between health and economic growth, an important theme in the context of the Australian Government’s ‘new aid paradigm’ and the upcoming G20 summit in Brisbane.
