This is a disaster recovery and resilience event for health professionals and those who work in the recovery space.
Join us to watch “Floodland” a documentary examining Lismore floods, followed by a discussion of the impacts of consecutive disasters on the health and wellbeing of communities.
Set against the backdrop of the devastating 2022 floods in Lismore, NSW, Floodland is a powerful Australian documentary that explores the human impact of climate disaster, resilience, and recovery. Director Jordan Giusti follows a group of local residents as they navigate loss, uncertainty and the difficult decisions that come with rebuilding their lives in one of Australia’s most flood-prone communities. Through deeply personal stories, Floodland examines not only the physical destruction left behind by the floods, but also the emotional, cultural and environmental questions facing a town at a crossroads.
Following Floodland, Dr Rebecca McNaught will discuss climate change trends in Australia, the impacts of consecutive disasters on the health and wellbeing of communities, community responses to the devastating 2022 floods and how the region is working towards a coordinated approach to community resilience.
Light catering will be provided.

Registration
By registering for this event you consent to GCPHN using your personal information in line with our Privacy Policy and for your details to be shared with City of Gold Coast and Gold Coast Health.
If you are unable to attend for any reason, please let us know immediately by emailing rsvp@gcphn.com.au to CANCEL your registration, as we may have time to offer your place to someone else.
CANCELLATIONS: Online registrations will be confirmed immediately in our booking system. This is our preferred method of RSVP. To cancel your RSVP please use the email link or call the GCPHN events team (PH. 07 5635 2455). In recent months a number of registrants to our events have failed to attend and have not provided cancellation advice. This often results in others, often on wait lists, being unable to attend. In addition, GCPHN resources are wasted as costs for catering and support staff are still incurred. Each event therefore incurs a cost per person ranging from $65 – $120. GCPHN wishes to continue to provide training and education at no cost to primary care providers, however for these reasons we may have to consider implementing fees to offset our costs in the future. Please ensure you provide at least 2 days’ notice if you need to cancel your registration
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION: GCPHN collects personal information for the purpose of assisting its activities and functions in the primary health care sector.

In some circumstances we may provide your information to our funding agency (Dept of Health) or to service providers that enter into legal contracts with us which are bound by confidentiality.
