<p></p><p>Over eight days in Melbourne at the Royal Children’s
Hospital in February and March 2018, nine delegates participated in the intensive Transform Leadership
Program, focusing on non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention in Indonesia.</p>

<p>Funded by the Australia-Indonesia Centre, the program was
developed by Andrea Krelle – from the Centre of Adolescent Health, The
University of Melbourne – in concert with Dr Bernie Medise – Paediatrician,
Universitas Indonesia – and the leads from the AIC’s Health Cluster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The program featured a range of experts from
organisations including the University of Melbourne, Murdoch Children’s
Research Institute, Burnet Institute, Victorian Cancer Council, Obesity Policy
Coalition, Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, Monash Business School,

Adult Cancer Service.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Delegates were guided through workshops and seminars on
leadership, adolescence, youth development frameworks, NCD prevalence and
trends, prevention strategies in tobacco and mental health, evidence-based
health promotion, program development, youth engagement, and advocacy including
the role of social media.</p>

with them expertise, including clinical care and teaching, policy development,
NCD research, program development, communication, youth participation, and
