There is growing international recognition that the arts can provide an effective and cost efficient means of preserving and improving health and wellbeing – for individuals and within communities.

The Art of Good Health and Wellbeing conference offers an unprecedented opportunity for direct access to best practice policy, programs and research in arts and health, presented by world authorities.

Delegates will -

• Learn how the arts, professionally incorporated into healthcare strategies, can positively impact on the health and wellbeing of patients, carers, health professionals and people engaged in healthcare services.
• Explore ways to reduce the cost of healthcare while improving the healthcare environment and overall delivery of healthcare services through creative solutions.
• Be impressed by the results of scientific research that demonstrate that the arts can both improve the quality of life for those with chronic health conditions and also foster a more positive approach to lifestyle choices and ageing within the community.
• Listen to presentations about international arts and health best practice and consider relevant applications for Australia.
