Preparedness: Research, Policies and Education
Theme Leaders: CHAP Charles Vesely and CHAP Andrew Watters

This theme includes those aspects that cultivate hopeful, creative environments for learning skills, values and attitudes to prepare a positive, healthy workforce and community.

Mitigation: Training and Rehabilitation
Theme Leaders: A/Prof Dr Lindsay Carey and Dr Melissa Bakhurst
