Please note: Due to the current staff restructure at Renew the position of Branch Coordinator is being discontinued. Our Renew branches have been instructed not to plan events from mid-July until the end of August 2020. We hope that after that time systems will be in place to allow branch events to resume.
Please note: Due to the COVID-19 situation all our meetings are moving to online webinars for the foreseeable future. Meeting details will be posted here (below) and online through our member email bulletins and Facebook page. Webinars from other branches will also be available and details will be here: renew.org.au/events
