National Members Forum 2022 held in Sydney
In June 2022, the NAPWHA national forum of its membership met together in a two-day event in a hybrid face-to-face and live video streaming event. It was the first face-to-face event to happen since the COVID-19 lockdowns commenced in 2020. The event brought together our NAPWHA members, NAPWHA networks, NAPWHA Board and Staff and featured speakers. The first day on Friday showcased the Health Literacy Framework project and the Finding Joy congress, supported by ViiV Healthcare Australia.
