Statement by Public Health Association of Australia CEO, Adj Prof Terry Slevin

The Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) joins the long list of Australian people and organisations who are shocked and saddened by the attack on Dr Helen Haines, the independent Member for Indi.

Helen has had a close connection to PHAA. She’s been a member of our association, as well as a presenter at our conferences, initially as a PHAA member/ public health researcher, and later from her political perspective. We also regularly engage with her in her political role.

Helen is a nurse and midwife by training, and earned a Master's degree in Public Health at the University of New South Wales. Helen completed a doctoral degree in medical science at Uppsala University in Sweden in 2012. Her doctoral thesis was titled ‘No worries’: A longitudinal study of fear, attitudes and beliefs about childbirth from a cohort of Australian and Swedish women.

Helen was a founding Co Convenor of the Parliamentary Friends of Public Health along with Dr Mike Freelander, which commenced in 2019. Helen is an extraordinary person. Committed, dedicated, hardworking, principled, brave, and thoughtful. She remains determined to draw on the best available evidence to promote improved policy.

Helen has been a reasoned and consistent voice for fair and progressive public policy making. She has been an unwavering supporter of strong public health policy and practice. During sitting days in Parliament House, Helen always finds time to touch base on key issues of the day. Helen always shows and consistently earns the greatest respect across the political divide.

Helen Haines is the very model of a political leader and servant of the community she represents. The world, and in particular the Parliament, every Parliament, needs more Helen Haines.

On behalf of PHAA, I am keen to wish her and her family the best over the challenging days, weeks, and months ahead. We wish her the speediest of recovery.
