AAvPA Workshop Seminar - Friday 15 November 2024 at the Parkroyal Melbourne Airport

The Australian Aviation Psychology Association (AAvPA) is hosting a one-day forum on psychological wellbeing in aviation on Friday 15 November 2024 at the Parkroyal Melbourne Airport. Followed by informal networking drinks.

Subject: Enhancing Psychological Wellbeing in Aviation
Date and Time: Friday 15 Nov 2024, 1000-1500
Venue: Parkroyal Melbourne Airport
Costs: This event is free for current AAvPA members. Non-Members can attend for a fee of $90 (this fee includes a 12 months AAvPA membership)

Brief:
With the lasting impact of the pandemic, cost of living crisis, and in the context of the highly dynamic and sometimes precarious aviation industry, a wide range of psychosocial hazards face all parts of the aviation workforce. Given the renewed focus on psychosocial hazards in the context of work health and safety duties, the requirement for aviation industry to ensure appropriate frameworks, strategies, and evidence-based tools are in place to enhance psychological wellbeing has never been more important.

This forum will examine a range of positive approaches to enhancing psychological wellbeing across the aviation workforce and present success stories from key stakeholders in their recent deployment of strategies and tools. More details of confirmed speakers will be following.

With such an important topic, the aim of this forum is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas for the benefit of the industry. As such, if you have any specific challenges that you would like to raise, insights that you have from your own experience, or if you would be interested in presenting a case study from your organisation, we would love to hear from you.

If you are interested in attending and for us to be able to provide numbers to the Parkroyal, please respond to to you let us know if you want to attend either the just the forum, or both the forum and networking drinks.

This event will also incorporate the AAvPA AGM.

We look forward to seeing you there!
