Below is general information for attendees. Once you are registered for an event, you will be provided with additional information specific to that particular event.

Qualification

The ACG’s education and training platform is coordinated by the ACG and is therefore non-commercial. This allows us to offer registrations at reasonable cost in the areas of most value and benefit to industry.

We are proud of our reputation for providing innovative and relevant events and bringing world-class international conferences and seminars to Australia and overseas for more than 30 years.

Professional Accreditation

Participation in an ACG event may contribute towards your professional development accreditation in the following ways:

  • Attending the event.
  • Presenting at the event.
  • Publishing a paper in the event proceedings.
  • Technically peer reviewing an event paper/s.

The ACG makes no guarantee of this and recommends you contact your respective professional organisation/s. The ACG can provide a certificate of attendance at an ACG further education and training event, post-event attendance. Please contact info-acg@uwa.edu.au for details.
