ANZAHPE Member Networking Event
How do I get the most out of SIGs (HTAGs)?
Presenters: Graeme Horton, Rebecca Roubin and Judy Kell
Date: Thursday 20th November 2025
Time: 1.00pm - 2.00pm (AEDT)
Special Interest Groups, SIGs, (previously known as HTAGs) are at the heart of ANZAHPE’s community. In this networking session, SIG Leads will give short introductions to their groups and the opportunities they offer. You’ll then join smaller breakout discussions to ask questions, explore how SIGs can support your professional interests, and share ideas for new SIGs that could benefit our members.
