HISA NSW wants to build on the momentum generated from a wonderful series of educational seminars held during 2015/2016!  We need your input!

We ask that you complete this brief survey to assist the HISA NSW Executive Committee in our planning, to create a relevant and valuable program of events targeted to your areas of interest. It will only take about five minutes to complete and you need not identify yourself.

The HISA NSW education sessions are held at Macquarie Health in Leichhardt and there are some offsite sessions, such as in Chatswood, or Hunter New England.

The results of this survey will also be shared with you during our HISA NSW Educational Session scheduled for Thursday 1 December 2016.

We appreciate your time and input.  Please feel free to forward this to other interested parties.
