lanning is underway for next NSW Professional Development Day in Q4 2020. The event will be held in ACT with the exact location to be determined. Theming for the day will be around COVID-19 and Bushfire Preparations and once details are locked in programs will be distributed in due course. The commitment to hold these events in regional and nonmetropolitan areas at least annually will now be ongoing and the attendance level and interest from members in these areas indicate that there is definite value in this approach. ANZEX Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions both NZ and AUS national conferences were postponed till 2021, so this exchange program will be deferred until the next National Conference.
