Welcome to the Australasian Conference on Obesity (ACO'09)

The Australasian Conference on Obesity is a one-day conference designed to provide medical and health professionals with practical insights into the various issues associated with obesity; from how it is caused to its impacts on people and society, to analysing ways to manage, prevent and treat it.

Join a diverse group of health professionals (including GPs, nurses, dieticians, nutritionists, clinicians, etc.), researchers, social workers and policy makers who are directly or indirectly involved with the overweight, obese and/or morbidly obese, to better understand the dynamics and intricacies of this growing global epidemic.

We invite you to join us in December for an exciting and thought-provoking conference on obesity!
