Briefings

We would like to thank those of you who were able to participate in the peak groups briefing on Thursday 9 July 2020.

The briefing covered a range of current topics and departmental updates. This was also the first time that the briefing was held online. We encourage you to provide us with feedback via the survey as it helps inform the structure and content of future briefings.

We have made all presentations available in the document library. Recall notes from the briefing will also be added shortly.

If you have any questions regarding the briefing, please contact Sally Dickinson from our engagement team sally.dickinson@mdba.gov.au
