Advisers Big Day Out Postponement

Financial Standard has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments, in particular, the recommendations for precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19.  With the Prime Minister announcing further steps to stem the spread of infection we have made the difficult decision not to proceed with the Advisers Big Day Out and we are now looking at options for rescheduling.

In making this decision, Financial Standard has considered both the government advice and the responsibility that we have as an organisation to manage the risk of infection and potential impacts for delegates, staff and their families, and the broader risks that this event could inadvertently impose on health systems and communities.  We've decided that at this time the only responsible course of action is to postpone this event.

It is with real regret that we postpone this, especially in light of all the work our speakers have put in preparing their presentations.  All will not be lost, as we will reschedule and will look at the many options to hold these important discussions.

We are working through the logistics of how the event will be rescheduled, and will be in touch as soon as possible with more information.
