COVID-19 UPDATE 28 September 2021
In response to the most recent lockdown and restrictions in Victoria, we have changed how we deliver our program to keep our participants, facilitators, and volunteers safe. For the remainder of 2021, all seminars will be offered Online.
Due to the likelihood of ongoing restrictions and/or lockdown periods, you should only book into online seminars for the remainder of 2021. If you are unable to attend an online seminar, please see the instructions beneath the calendar below.
Online Program
The Online Program is delivered using web-conferencing through the application Zoom. To participate in group sessions using web-conferencing, participants will need access to either a laptop, desktop computer or tablet. Participants will need to have the application Zoom downloaded on their devices. Zoom may also be downloaded to mobile phones.
Zoom is a free application; participants won’t need to pay to use it. Participants should utilise Google Chrome as their internet browser for using Zoom.
Anyone can book into any program offered as an online Zoom seminar, no matter where you live across the State.
