Annual general meeting 2025

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is happening on the morning of 21 June 2025, 10am-1pm, online.

It’s an opportunity to come together as a profession, look back on what we’ve accomplished over the past year, and discuss what’s next. Our Chair, Claire Louise Vaculik, and Chief Executive, Gary Fereday, will share key updates, and there will time for questions and discussion.

We’d love for you to join us. We will share the Zoom link closer to the day.
