Anita Egginton, Social + Community Research, Planning & Development Consultant, will join the Gold Coast Disaster Recovery & Resilience education calendar this month to share the key findings and recommendations from the Thriving Kids in Disasters (TKiD) report. This evidence- and practice-informed report, developed through her work with the Thriving Qld Kids Partnership (TQKP), and funded by the John Villiers Trust, focuses on supporting the wellbeing and resilience of infants, children, and young people across the various phases of disaster management in Queensland. Anita will discuss how Network members can join the TKiD coalition and access a range of information, support, and resources. She is eager to hear about your initiatives and brainstorm child- and youth-centred disaster management ideas.
Anita has worked with individuals, groups, and communities in disaster and emergency contexts across Queensland since the 1990s. After ten years in remote areas, she completed her PhD on how disasters and climate change affect the use of public spaces and community infrastructure. In 2023, she worked with bushfire-impacted communities in southwest Queensland, joining forces with Jacinta Perry from TQKP to form a coalition aimed at improving disaster management systems for young people.

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 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. Your contact details may be used to forward information and notifications from GCPHN. 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. For further information on how we manage your personal information see our privacy policy.
