MAV Events and COVID-19
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, MAV has moved most of our events and meetings online. Those that cannot be held online have been postponed until restrictions allow for face-to-face meetings in Victoria.
We will update our approach based on the COVID-19 advice and contact registered attendees prior to the event to confirm the meeting format and location. For more information about the current restrictions in Victoria visit: www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
For more information please contact learningandevents@mav.asn.au.
We hold more than 100 events and professional development seminars each year. Browse the list below or see key dates for 2022, procurement training and upcoming MAV Insurance events.
