This year marks 40 years of Menzies School of Health Research.

While it’s a milestone worth celebrating, this event is all about looking ahead. Because 40 years on, the big questions still matter: 

What’s next? What’s needed? And most importantly — who’s leading the change?

This special event brings together emerging and established leaders in health, science and community to explore how young people — across cultures and disciplines — are shaping a fairer, healthier and more sustainable future.

We're delighted to be joined by Tiahni Adamson, 2024 SA Young Australian of the Year and advocate for Indigenous science, climate justice, and youth leadership, as our key note speaker.

We'll then open the floor to four NT-based change makers, for a dynamic panel discussion. 

Get ready to be inspired and be part of the conversation - where knowledge meets impact.
