- 98% of the attendees rated the event as excellent, very good or good.
- Speakers were the Hon Dr Kay Patterson AO, Janet Anderson PSM, Carolanne Barkla, Geoff Rowe and Cassie Mason, and their content covered the latest research, the state of the nation, and progress on actions Australia-wide.
- “I have not been able to attend any previous WEAAD events as I live in a regional area so this was a great opportunity to attend from my desk and hear that level of speaker. I could not attend on Friday so appreciated the flexibility to be able to view it on demand from my desk. It exceeded my expectations.” were some of the comments made by attendees.
A big thank you to all our supporters of the 2021 WEAAD Online Forum.
