Local conversations, shared learning

ABA Australia’s Social and Reading Events continued to bring members together throughout 2024, with monthly meet-ups held in five cities.

These in-person events will continue in 2025, with a comprehensive line-up of discussion topics already in the making. We’re also looking forward to expanding into more states and reaching more ABA Australia members.
