ACAA MATTERS
Managing your Events and CPD
T
he ACAA website has many built-in and automated or partially automated functions allowing you to manage your ACAA event attendances and Continuing Professional Development. In this article, I will take you through some of the procedures for managing your Events and CPD.
EVENTS You can register and pay for ACAA events on the website (using a credit card for paid events). To view upcoming events, go to: Site > Communications > ACAA events on this link https://access.asn. au/accessibility-communications/accessibility-events You will see all upcoming ACAA events that are public. For member only or committee meetings, and so on, you need to log in and view the same page and the non public events will also now appear on the page. To register for an event, click on the Register button at the bottom of the listing and it will take you to the Registration page.
On the registration page, you will be required to enter your login details or create a new account if you have never used the ACAA site before. Once logged in, many fields in the form will auto populate from your site profile and any discounts applicable to ACAA members will automatically appear in the financial section of the form. If you are a current ACAA member, your membership is up to date and the Members discounts do not appear for you, please contact us on support@access.asn.au to correct the issue for you before proceeding with the event registration.
EVENT CERTIFICATES After an event has occurred, event attendees will be checked in and their certificates will now auto populate in their event records. This may take a few days depending on workload for state committee members and the ACAA office. If you registered for an event but did not attend, you will not be checked in and your certificate will not be issued. To view or download event invoices, tickets or certificates, please LOG IN to the site then go to Site > Your Account > Manage Events on this link https://access.asn.au/your-account/your-events There you will see a history of the ACAA events you have booked and paid for along with links to previous invoices, tickets and certificates which are available for download in PDF format.
