Community support and involvement is at the core of what we do and collaborating with other injury prevention and management professionals is a big part of how we do it.

Suncorp Insurance is proud to join with AIPN to support the 14th Australasian Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Conference.  As we explore new technologies and research we are challenging ourselves to think differently, and more holistically, about injury prevention and management.
