We're about to start our live session, 'Planetary and Climate Health' with experts from @UTAS_ @UTAS_MPH, @ANUPopHealth @scienceANU and @DeakinHealth @Deakin. We'll live tweet #AustPH2021 
First presenter is Prof Fay Johnson (UTAS) who is explaining safer air for public health in Australia, and fire. How we use fire determines everything else. #AustPH2021
Just like the west of Nth America, we are getting more fires, means more air pollution, and fires in places that never used to burn, eg Tasmanian rainforests, Prof Johnson says. #AustPH2021
It's now time for Prof Tom Calma AO, whose roles include Chancellor of the University of Canberra and co-chair of @RecAustralia, who is delivering the Basil Hertzel Oration #AustPH2021
Prof Calma says the pandemic's ongoing lockdowns are causing challenging times. "This is hard", he says. It also shows much of Australia a reality the country has often avoided. Despite this, there are many lessons to be learned, and wins to be celebrated, he says. #AustPH2021
The Public Health sector is at risk of burn out. Lots of pressures over a long time. We still need to take time to reset, re-energise and refine, Prof Calma says. #AustPH2021
Bardi woman Prof Pat Dudgeon gets our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social and Emotional Wellbeing session underway. Must acknowledge colonisation and the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples, she tells #AustPH2021
Suicide is second leading cause of death of Indigenous men, and 7th leading cause for Indigenous women, Prof Dudgeon says. Institutionalised racism and lack of culturally-appropriate services.
Prof Dudgeon says there is regional disparity among suicide rates for Indigenous people. Reasons include grief and loss in families, dislocation, trans-generational trauma. We need more culturally appropriate services. #AustPH2021
