Welcome to the Australian Defence Reserves Association Annual (DRA) Conference 2020. Planned to be held in Adelaide, it had to be moved online as COVID-19 travel restrictions precluded physical assembly. This also opens the conference to all members of the DRA and others with an interest in the Australian Navy, Army and Air Force Reserves.
The online conference consists of a number of video presentations, each accessible by a link below. Beneath each video, there once was a button to permit questions to be asked. These have been removed, questions have now closed. Questions and answers where appropriate will be published in the fullness of time.
The conference site will remain online for the foreseeable future.
