HEAL Future Leaders School
The HEAL Future Leaders School (FLS) is a flagship capacity‑building initiative of the HEAL National Research Network. It equips emerging public health researchers with interdisciplinary research, leadership, policy translation, and science communication skills to address climate change and improve health outcomes in Australia. Delivered through an intensive week in Canberra (and offered online as a hybrid course), the FLS brings together experienced researchers, public health leaders, and HEAL Early‑ and Mid‑Career Researchers to collaborate, share knowledge, and build lasting networks.
We look forward to welcoming the HEAL FLS 2026 delegates to Canberra from Monday 25 May – Friday 29 May.
