AusAID Australian Leadership Award Fellowship: Pandemic Preparedness and Health Disaster Management 25 August – 28 November 2008
Nine international leaders in health from two of the world’s most geographically diverse countries visited QUT’s School of Public Health as part of the Australian Government’s AusAID funded Australian Leadership Awards Fellowships.
Over the 13-week training program, the aim was to develop the knowledge and leadership skills of current and potential leaders in the area of pandemic preparedness and health disaster management. This was achieved by combining theory and practical based training activities including lectures from QUT staff and industry professionals, as well as site visits to a range of emergency and disaster management facilities.
