#itswhatyouknow - ANZSOM webinar series
Webinars and events
By necessity, our program of webinars took off in 2020, fulfilling a need for regular education and engagement that we could no longer deliver face-to-face. The result is a popular ongoing series of monthly webinars, featuring high profile speakers and enabling participation from members and non-members across the country, as well as internationally.
All ANZSOM webinars are available nationally to members and AFOEM members at no charge. There is a small charge for non-members (see below). Recordings are available to ANZSOM members on the online learning page.
The calendar also includes face-to-face educational meetings offered by ANZSOM State Branches, as well as relevant external webinars and events, including those provided by partners and affiliated organisations, such as the Society of Occupational Medicine (UK) and IOMSC.
Please note that registrations for ANZSOM webinars close 1 hour before scheduled start time.
To add a webinar or event to the calendar, contact the Secretariat with relevant details and links.
