The Australian & New Zealand Disaster & Emergency Management Conference has worked closely with Queensland Health to safely execute this event.

We are looking forward to welcoming you the conference, however due to the changed conditions under COVID-19 we ask that you read and understand the important information below.

The event will be held at The Star Gold Coast. At this stage we are working with The Star to ensure the event complies with government restrictions and the event checklist supplied by Queensland Health. Once those event guidelines have been specified, they will be linked to this page, approximately one month prior to the event.

By attending the Disaster & Emergency Management Conference you acknowledge your role in helping to successfully carry out the COVID-19 Event Checklist. By playing your part, you will help ensure we all enjoy a comfortable and safe experience for all delegates.

For further safety precautions we also encourage the download and use of the Australian Government’s COVID-Safe app. More info can be found here.
