Submissions

Doctors for the Environment Australia has a long history of strongly advocating to all levels of government to take action to combat climate change.  A major part of our advocacy work is ensuring a health perspective is considered in climate change discussions and actions.  One avenue is the writing of submissions on key areas which our dedicated members undertake under the guidance of our Research, Education and Advocacy Committee.
