UPDATE

Conference 2001 (September) was well attended and a great success. As expected the twenty speakers were excellent. Each speaker presented a paper and these are available at a cost of $15 each from the Secretary, Box 156, Yankalilla, South Australia 5203.

Among the subjects discussed during the two days were a variety of treatments, along with the amount of help that is available.

Plans for next year's conference are under way. It will be even bigger and better and we are hoping that other organisations will join in by giving additional sponsorship.

Helen can be booked to give talks to your local group, school, club or organisation. Please contact her on 08 8558 2738 to make arrangements.
