Welcome

I would like to thank everyone who joined us in Adelaide for the Australian Health and Medical Research Congress. In particular I would like to thank the invited speakers and presenters who contributed to the excellent program.

I also extend a special acknowledgement to all of our sponsors and supporters. Without their support events such as this are not possible.

The meeting would not have been possible without the commitment of the society representatives who formed the local organising committee. They all worked tirelessly to bring the program together and in arranging the many excellent dinners and social functions that we all enjoyed.
