The Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (QUT) and Methods and Implementation Support for Clinical and Health Research Hub (University of Melbourne) are co-hosting a two-day symposium to support early- to mid-career statisticians working in consultancy and research.

This dual-hub, in-person event aims to strengthen leadership capacity among statisticians working across academia, government, and industry, to support their ongoing professional development.

The program will combine international keynote speakers, invited and contributed presentations, and interactive skill-building activities. Program themes include cross-disciplinary communication, building a leadership profile, transitioning from team contributor to team leader, and sustainable models for research consultancy.
