A note on registering for this year’s conference and ensuring fair workplace representation

The ANMF (Vic Branch) Annual Delegates Conference continues to be a popular event for delegates, with places filling fast and venue limitations on conference attendees. To ensure the conference remains representative and accessible to ANMF delegates across the state – and consistent with feedback from the ANMF delegate survey in late 2025 – there may be limitations to workplace numbers to ensure equitable access to as many workplaces as possible. Places may not be able to be guaranteed, and will be subject to Branch Council review. Please register your interest and you will be notified in due course if your place is not secured. 



 

Please ensure you meet and discuss with your fellow reps in advance who will attend this year’s conference to represent your workplace.

Are you a new delegate? Newly confirmed delegates are encouraged to attend this event to represent their workplaces and experience the Delegates Conference for the first time.

^Please note: if you are in the process of becoming a job rep or HSR and wish to attend the conference, in order to successfully register to attend the conference you must have completed the process to become a rep at minimum one week prior to the registration close date of Monday 20 April (if places remain), to ensure your status as a delegate has successfully been updated against your membership and gain access to the registration options.
