Organised Chaos: Squalor and Hoarding Forum

Postponed:

We regret that Organised Chaos: Squalor and Hoarding Forum planned for Wednesday, 25 March has been postponed due to the directive from the Australian Government banning indoor gatherings of more than 100 people, in response to COVID-19 concerns and advice from lead public health agencies, the Australian Government Department of Health and NSW Health.

The Forum was rescheduled to be held on Wednesday 14 October 2020 but due to ongoing social distancing measures further postponement may be necessary.

As a result, registrations will NOT open on 1 July as previously advised. We will provide further advice and updates as they become available.
