Global Health at a Tipping Point: Why Action Can’t Wait
TB Parliamentary Breakfast Event
On 27 August 2025, Results Australia, with the Australian TB Caucus, held a parliamentary breakfast at Parliament House in Canberra: Global Health at a Tipping Point: Why Action Can't Wait.
The breakfast was a milestone moment, with 15 federal parliamentarians in attendance, 85 attendees, a strong multi-partisan approach by the newly-reformed Australian Parliamentary TB Caucus, led by Hon Kate Thwaites MP, Dr Sophie Scamps MP and Mary Aldred MP, and an early pledge of AU$266 million by the Australian Government to the Global Fund.
The event brought leaders, advocates and community members together in Parliament House to highlight the impacts of conflict, climate change and reduced aid budgets on global health, with a particular focus on tuberculosis. The event also showcased the transformative impact of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria within the Indo-Pacific region.
Results would like to thank our speakers for fascinating, diverse and instructive speeches and discussion:
John Green, bestselling author of Everything is Tuberculosis
Professor Brendan Crabb AC, CEO of the Burnet Institute
Jennifer Tierney, ED of Medecins Sans Frontieres
Assoc Professor Sarah Bernays, Chief-Investigator, TB CRE
Lady Roslyn Morauta, Chair of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria
and Hon Dr Anne Aly MP, Minister for International Development
Results would also like to thank its sponsors, without whose support this event would not have been possible: TB Alliance, Burnet Institute, FIND and TB CRE. We also thank our event partners MSF, Global Citizen, Pacific Friends of Global Health, Safer World for All and Health Equity Matters.
