Launch of the Law Enforcement & Public Health Issues Paper & Tasmania Wide Consultation

On 23 November, the Institute launched the Law Enforcement & Public Health (LEPH) Issues Paper & Tasmania Wide Consultation at the University of Tasmania.

The event was officially opened by the Director of TILES Roberta Julian and invited guest speakers were - Mr Michael Hill (former Chief Magistrate, Tasmania), Scott Tilyard APM (Deputy Commissioner, Tasmania Police DPFEM) and Ms Andrea Heath.

The launch of the Issues Paper is the official start of a Tasmania wide, sector-wide consultation on the topic of law enforcement and public health, and the better integration of service delivery. The nexus of law enforcement and public health has been at the centre of recent international considerations as to finding better ways to create better collaboration in the field, and importantly, how to better integrate service delivery.

The LEPH research is being co-ordinated by Dr Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron who was joined by Dr Danielle Campbell (TILES Researcher) and Ms Emma Kiis (Student Intern from Denmark) to work on initiating the public consultation within Tasmania. The other collaborators on the project are Associate Prof Roberta Julian, Dr Clarissa Hughes and Ms Sancia West. (photo: LEPH TILES project team, UTAS Media).
