Virtual Activists conference

This virtual conference is part of the ongoing training provided for all Activists and is a great opportunity to learn from your peers, join in on workshops and  hear the latest employment relations update. We will be showcasing some of the incredible work branches have undertaken over the past year and providing you with tools to help support members. Join us to celebrate your achievements, learn from your experiences and network with your colleagues.
