Pre-Conference Workshops
Each year at the Victoria Annual Conference, we strive to deliver a Workshop Program that is both engaging and practical, giving our delegates and colleagues the opportunity to gain skills that may not be easily accessible in their everyday work.
This year, we're excited to offer three workshop options, including two half-day sessions, allowing you the chance to attend both and maximise your learning experience.
