The information collected provides members with valuable data on comparative fee levels and charges.

The conference provides the opportunity for members to gather, network and have input from a range of high quality presenters on a range of technical, topical and personal development PD. Congratulations must go to Stephen Rosier as Chair of the Conference Organising Committee, Committee members and Claire Amor-Haynes from All Occasions Management who delivered an outstanding PD and social program. The location was chosen to provide further support to our NT members who have limited access to high quality PD opportunities. We had a total of 98 delegates attend, of which 29 were from the NT. The conference commenced with a welcome function held at the Darwin Sailing Club overlooking the bay and a magnificent Darwin sunset. We also received a formal welcome to country from Aboriginal elders acknowledging the original owners of the land on which we were gathering. Our conference was held at the Darwin Convention Centre with conference presentations and keynotes from: • Mark McCrindle - Social Demographer • Dr Libby Weaver - Health & Well Being • Susan McLean – Cyber Security and Safety • Collette Coleman – Executive Director ISCA • Michael Workman – Economist Commonwealth Bank • Dominic Wright – Resilience & Risk AON • Kimberley Hannagan – Work Smarter, Live Better • Mahongo Fumbelo – Professional Development Trainer • Dr Gill Hicks – London Subway Bombing Survivor On our second evening we visited Crocydillus Park were we viewed crocodile feeding, outdoor dining and a presentation from Dr Graham Webb that provided a unique insight into the politics of conservation globally. Our Gala Dinner on the final evening was held at The Darwin Convention Centre to wrap up the conference. It was at this function that we presented Brenton Howell with an ASBA Chapter Award. The support from NT members was appreciated with 19 new NT members joining the Chapter. We had the support of 24 Conference Partners which enabled us to provide the high standard venue, catering, speakers and functions. A huge thank you to those businesses that continue to support ASBA and enable the cost of these events to be minimised.
