Health professionals, researchers and community members will come together for the South Regional Health Research Forum 2025 on 6 June at Edith Cowan University Bunbury.

Hosted by the South Regional Health Research Collaborative, the forum will focus on vital health research tailored to the southern regional communities of Western Australia.

Chair of the South Regional Health Research Collaborative, ECU's Professor Beth Armstrong, said the theme of this year's forum is Improving Rural Health Our Way: Partnering Together in Research.

"The forum provides a unique opportunity to learn about research projects, share insights and contribute to impactful health initiatives across the southern regions," Professor Armstrong said.

"A local approach of targeted health research, collaboration and action facilitates better health outcomes for regional communities."

The key themes to be explored include Ageing Well in the South West, Researching Long-term Health Conditions in the Regions, Improving Access to Mental Health Support and Culturally Secure Research in Aboriginal Health.

Health practitioners and researchers currently undertaking research in the South West and Great Southern regions are encouraged to attend, along with community members, academics, local government and early stage investigators.

Registrations for the event are now open.
