An Enterprise Agreement (EA) meeting will be held at Tandara Lodge, and Log of Claims (LoC) meetings will be held at Umina Park and Rubicon Grove on Tuesday 13 February 2024.

Conference flyers with the QR code to register have been distributed across aged care sites, so make sure you scan, check out the details and register your spot.
