PUBLIC SECTOR SPONSORS

PLATINUM SPONSOR

The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing is pleased to be a platinum sponsor of the 2010 APACT Conference. The focus of the 2010 APACT Conference – “Change, Challenge and Progress: Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in the Asia Pacific” is a particularly important one for all countries in the Asia Pacific as 2010 marks the 5^th year anniversary of the FCTC.

The Australian Government is committed to further reducing tobacco use, not only in Australia but throughout the Asia Pacific, and is keen to learn from other countries about tobacco control experiences, future developments and progress.

The 2010 APACT Conference will provide all participants with the opportunity to share and learn from the extensive range of tobacco related research undertaken in the Asia Pacific. Participants are encouraged to use this knowledge to develop strategies which will build on tobacco control efforts for the future.

SILVER SPONSOR

NSW Health is committed to reducing tobacco-related harm in NSW and continues to work closely with key partners at the State and Commonwealth level, in local government and with non-government organisations. NSW Health is a major driving force in tobacco control and has a particular focus on tobacco policy development, provision of cessation services and enforcement of legislation.

The substantial decline in smoking rates within the NSW population over the last 25 years can be attributed to social marketing programs and the introduction of strong policy and legislative reforms. The new reforms in the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2008 have further strengthened tobacco control efforts in NSW.
