August 2026
“Homelessness as health emergency”
When research shows that homelessness dramatically endangers health outcomes, this should be treated as a public health emergency and responded to as such. The August 2026 edition of Parity is dedicated to investigating the intersection of health and homelessness, at an individual and public health level. We want to explore how homelessness impacts various aspects of health, how services are responding, and how we could design a multi-disciplinary response that treats homelessness as an urgent public heath priority.
Pitches due 22 May; full submissions due by 22 June. Send to parity@chp.org.au
