RACGP: 2025 National Close the Gap Day Webinar

The theme for National Close the Gap Day 2025, "Agency, Leadership, Reform: Ensuring the survival, dignity, and wellbeing of First Nations Peoples," highlights the importance of leadership in creating change.

In recognition of this significant day, RACGP are excited to spotlight the launch of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural and Health Training Framework. This initiative, the first of its kind in Australian medical training, has been developed and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experts in health, clinical education, and cultural education.

The framework provides GPs with recommendations to better understand cultural contexts, helping create a healthcare environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients feel respected, heard, and empowered. By including this knowledge in everyday care, GPs can help close the health gap and support the survival, dignity, and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Be part of this important conversation, embrace leadership and agency, and learn how you can drive reform in your own practice to help shape a more equitable future for healthcare in Australia.

Assessing workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust: The current state of play

More than half a million Australians are exposed to silica dust in their workplace. Do you know which workers are at risk and how, when and why to monitor their lung health?

Recent years have seen the resurgence of accelerated silicosis linked to the cutting, grinding and polishing of engineered stone, which often contains a high percentage (>90%) of crystalline silica.

In a world-first decision, effective from 1 July 2024 the use, supply, and manufacture of engineered stone products was banned across Australia.

Whilst occupational and respiratory experts work to update clinical guidelines to reflect these landmark changes and progress in industry and evidence, how can at-risk Australian workers be identified and assessed for silica-related disease?

Hear from our panel of clinical experts on the most up-to-date evidence and the future of assessing, diagnosing and monitoring workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust. Submit your questions for our panel at registration, or during the live session. Register now to view live or on-demand from the following day.
