The inaugural NATSIEH Conference was held in Cairns in 1998. Conferences are currently held on a biennial basis and provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander environmental health practitioners with a unique opportunity to showcase their projects, build professional networks, and learn from one another. Previous conferences have been held in the following Australian locations:

The aim of these national conferences is to increase the understanding and awareness of environmental health issues in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, with a key focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander environmental health practitioners.
The conference provides delegates with the opportunity to hear and view presentations, from a variety of environmental health practitioners from across Australia, that highlight the programs and activities being undertaken in their own settings and the challenges faced in striving to achieve the conference theme:
The NATSIEH Conference respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which the conference will be held, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
