It will be hosted by Megan Smith from Charles Sturt University with an opening from Western NSW Local Health District CEO Scott McLachlan. WHRN founding chair Catherine Hawke will also speak before the formal presentations.
Dr Hawke said it was important the symposium went ahead as the research work done in the region deserved to be highlighted.
"The symposium has gained much momentum in the past few years, so we are excited to be able to continue it this year in a purely virtual format," Dr Hawke said.
"We have many talented researchers and health clinicians in the region contributing to some amazing work, so we feel it's vital that work continues to be shared."
