- Abstract
Thirty-five key researchers in children's health and development attended a workshop held over three days on 22-24 February 2001 at the Australian Institute of Family Studies. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the formation of a new National Research Partnership for Developmental Health and Wellbeing, drawing together researchers from a wide array of disciplines. The motivation behind the proposal to form a partnership was the conviction that a new era of interdisciplinary, intersectoral work is needed if we are to address the research and policy issues affecting child wellbeing in this rapidly changing society. The meeting was organised by a steering committee comprising professor Graham Vimpani (University of Newcastle), professor Fiona Stanley (Institute for Child Health Research in Perth), professor Alan Hayes (Macquarie University), professor George Patton (Centre for Adolescent Health, Melbourne), Professor Brian Oldenburg (School of Public Health, Queensland University of Technology), Dr Wayne Smith (National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health), and Associate Professor Ann Sanson (Australian Institute of Family Studies).
