About Annual Dust and Respiratory Health Forum
We are thrilled to announce that in 2025, the Dust and Respiratory Health Forum is moving from The University of Queensland campus to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The Forum brings together experts from around the world to showcase advancements and emerging trends in the management of dust and mine dust lung diseases. It aims to fosters collaborations and the sharing of best practice to improve the health, safety and treatment options outcomes for mine workers affected by occupational dust lung diseases.
Dust lung diseases can lead to long-term health problems, and they continue to be a significant risk for mine workers around the world. Worryingly, there is still no holistic picture of the overall risk of these diseases or the risk factors in development and progression, which makes the Forum an important opportunity to share knowledge and experience.
