About this event
The 6th International HEAL 2026 conference themed: Time to Listen, Learn and Act for Lasting Impact on Healthy Environments and Lives, is a free four-day hybrid conference exploring the urgent health, climate, and environmental challenges facing Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and the world. HEAL 2026 is the flagship annual event of the Healthy Environments And Lives (HEAL) National Research Network funded by the NHMRC Special Initiative in Human Health and Environmental Change. HEAL strives to increase sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint as part of our commitment to improving the health of all people and the environment, and the HEAL 2026 Conference has been designed to reflect this ethos. The hybrid format of the conference, with full online coverage and regional in-person sessions in all Australian states and territories, aims to stimulate interaction and minimise travel, energy use and waste. From 2–5 November 2026, the conference will showcase how the HEAL National Research Network and other groups are shaping innovative research to support Australia’s National Health and Climate Strategy, national and regional decarbonisation and adaptation plans in Australia and the Asia-Pacific, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with strong commitment to elevating First Nations and grassroots leadership. Building on last year’s success, the conference brings together leading voices from Australia and internationally to spotlight community-led responses to environmental change. HEAL 2026 will feature inspiring case studies, cutting-edge science, and policy-focused dialogue on adaptation, community resilience to climate extremes and environmental degradation, mental health and One Health. The hybrid conference will be delivered in-person at eight regional hubs across Australia on 2nd November 2026, and online nationally and internationally on 3rd, 4th and 5th November 2026. HEAL 2026 offers multiple ways to connect, collaborate, and drive action for a healthier, climate-resilient future.
