On Thursday 13 October, we were delighted to host the Menzies Oration, our annual public address, designed to inspire discussions about issues of national and international significance, with direct relevance to northern Australia.
This year, the Oration was delivered by Professor Paul Kelly, Chief Medical Officer for the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
We extend our sincere thanks to Professor Kelly for his address, where he shared his insights into providing medical advice during the pandemic.
We were delighted to be joined by Her Honour the Honourable Vicki O’Halloran AO, The Administrator of the Northern Territory, our board members, including the Chair and Deputy Chair, the Honourable Trevor Riley AO KC and Ms Leanne Liddle, Menzies staff, our partners and community members who attended in person and online.
