Changing lifestyles: how Australians are choosing to live today.

The annual oration, now in its 10th year, honours the significant contribution of Sir Wilfred Brookes, grandson of Alfred Deakin, the second Prime Minister of Australia, after whom Deakin University is named.

The Brookes Oration was established by the Deakin Graduate School of Business in 2006 to encourage thoughtful debate about the contribution of corporate Australia in the global community.

This year's oration, Changing lifestyles:  how Australians are choosing to live today, will be delivered by Mr Bernard Salt, internationally acclaimed expert on the implications of demographic and social trends.
