CPD WITHOUT BARRIERS FLEXIBLE, AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND ENJOYABLE FOR ALL 4
2021 DHAA Symposium is going online
With domestic COVID-19 cases climbing again the decision has been made to take this year's DHAA Symposium online By Bill Suen
THE CLOCK IS ticking and we are looking forward to getting together at the end of October for our event of the year Melbourne Symposium 2021. This event is so popular that we were at capacity since May and many are already on our waiting list for a place. As we enter the end of the second year of the AHPRA CPD cycle, many are keen to participate in this flagship education event for the profession. The multistreamed education program has been carefully selected to cater for a variety of interests with expert presenters and great topics. With the recent COVID-19 outbreaks across a number of states, it is becoming apparent that having a face to face gathering of large number of members of our profession at the Symposium may
be problematic with lockdowns, border closures and quarantine requirements. To keep everyone safe and provide certainty, the DHAA board has decided to offer the 2021 DHAA National Symposium solely as a virtual event. The Symposium will be delivered live via Zoom to all registrants on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 October. Live sessions will be recorded and provided together with other multi stream session recordings to all registrants for on demand viewing later. Registrants will therefore have flexible access
provided (by 30 November) and they will receive information by email on the final program and access information to the live sessions and other recorded sessions. Existing Symposium registrants who wish to cancel their registration will need to email the conference organiser before COB Friday 24 September 2021, and a full refund will be provided. All existing registrants will be contacted by email with further details on the arrangements, and information on refunds and cancellations.
“ All existing registrants will be contacted by email with further details on the arrangements, and information on refunds and cancellations” to all sessions, at the time that suits individual’s circumstance; and there is no need to choose your stream or missing out any of the education sessions. Existing registrants who wish to attend the virtual sessions and/or access the recordings need to do nothing. A partial refund will be automatically
With 20-25 hours of high quality CPD on offer through the virtual Symposium, registration will re-open on Monday 6 September. With the flexible virtual Symposium, we can all access great CPD from subject experts without barrier.
