WA DIVISION REPRESENTATIVE

Each State and Territory in Australia has a dedicated group of volunteers (Division Coordinators) who coordinate local face to face events for new and existing members and for those non-members of our community who want to get to know a little more about the world of hand therapy. These events are also commonly available via online (Zoom meeting) access to ensure we can connect with our rural and remote therapists. These events aim to combine education and friendship and are usually held in the evening throughout the year or on the weekend.
