EVENT POSTPONED

Following consultation with relevant experts, we have decided to postpone the Barwon Health & Deakin University Research Symposium, given the risk posed by bringing so many people in crucial clinical & research roles together for a prolonged period.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank the many people who have been working to make the day a success. 

We will be in contact with registrants when a new date/format is set.
