The 2007 Kimberley Aboriginal Health Summit will be a celebration of the significant achievements in Aboriginal health, as well as the opportunity to gain from others and build on the collective experience and knowledge of those present.

The first KAMSC Summit in 2004 was hailed as a great success, with positive feedback from delegates, staff and funding bodies. As a result of such encouraging feedback, the KAMSC Inc governing council made the commitment to host the second 2007 Kimberley Aboriginal Health Summit.

The aim of the 2007 Kimberley Aboriginal Health Summit is to:

• Contribute to the continuing education of community members, Aboriginal health workers, policy-makers and managers.
• Provide a forum where regional, national and international delegates have the opportunity of sharing, planning, networking and galvanising commitment to address issues affecting Aboriginal health.
• Provide an opportunity for education and knowledge transfer within the Aboriginal health workforce in a culturally safe environment
• Provide a forum for experiencing, understanding, celebrating and enjoying a showcase of Kimberley talent

Objectives are to:

1. Strengthen networks amongst those working in Indigenous Health.
2. Sharing of knowledge between those working in Indigenous Health.
3. Show case new and innovative Indigenous health promotion and education projects from around Australia.

The summit will provide a forum where regional, national and international delegates have the opportunity of sharing, planning, networking and galvanising commitment to address the pressing regional Aboriginal health problems and to enhance staff knowledge and skills.
