SOFITEL CENTRAL BRISBANE // 30TH & 31ST AUGUST 2023
HCANZA2023
Welcome
Australia and New Zealand’s healthcare system is facing unprecedented challenges. The population is aging, chronic disease is on the rise, and healthcare costs are increasing. Healthcare providers are struggling to keep up with demand, and patients are often left feeling frustrated and disengaged with the healthcare system. The good news is that health coaches can help bridge the gap between healthcare providers and patients, and by working together with the community, we can redefine the future of healthcare.
In 2023, our conference theme is “Driving Positive Change: Harnessing Value through Community Collaboration and Coaching.”
As recognised by both the United Nations and HCANZA’s stated mission, health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is essential to promote a proactive approach to health that empowers individuals and communities to take command for their well-being by adopting healthy lifestyle habits that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall quality of life.
Our conference focuses on empowering individuals within communities, regardless of their foundational identities such as geography, workplace, gender, nationality, or culture.
To achieve this goal collaborations with all communities of interest to inspire new thinking, creative and innovative health transformation in this 21st century.
