DANA is disappointed to announce the  postponement of this  year’s  DANA Australasian Conference and Nurse Practitioner Symposium  due to the uncertainly around the COVID-19. The safety of delegates and speakers is our priority.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to your participation next year. We have tentatively scheduled (August 4th for a pre-conference workshop),  August 5th and 6th 2021 for the main conference and symposium, so please pencil this into your diary. The venue will still be The Adelaide  Pullman.
