PAST AND FUTURE CONFERENCES

 

A highlight of the Australasian section is its Annual Conference. These are typically held away from capital cities, at wilderness locations of major interest to members. Biologists and conservationists working in the local area are invited to share in the meeting.

Everyone is encouraged to present a talk on anything related to wildlife health - eg. wildlife disease, biology, ecology, management, whether cutting edge science, case studies or interesting stories. Proceedings are produced at each meeting.

In addition to the scientific programme there are field trips, bush walks, and a friendly atmosphere that encourages the sharing of knowledge and ideas. The catering by Shirley and Biggles is outstanding with 5 cooked meals/day, so you never have to last more than 2 hours without eating something. Camping and informal accommodation is usual, and families and friends are welcome. Costs are kept to a minimum, and students are exempt from paying registration.
