Kia ora koutou,

A final reminder that the deadline for panel and abstract submission for our Biennial Conference at the University of Otago is tomorrow, Tuesday 1 July. Please get all your last-minute submissions in as soon as you can so that the conference planning and programme development can continue!

Registration is now open for the conference and we are pleased to announce that the rates have been kept as low as possible to ensure that as many of us as possible can participate. The early-bird fee is $200 for waged NZPSA | TKTTOA members and $90 for postgraduate and unwaged members. Non-members can pay higher registration rates or can choose to join the Association to access the member rates.

The conference organisers have generously worked on offering some accommodation options in Dunedin:
