The AUSIT President is taking this seminar around the country throughout 2023.   It is important for him to meet  face to face with AUSIT members, to get a feeling of what’s like working in different corners of Australia so that he can best represent the interests of ALL members of AUSIT.

This seminar will be run online at some point during the year and will be for practitioners who did not have a chance to meet in person. 

THIS SESSION WILL NOT BE RECORDED

We look forward to seeing you there!
