Combined Health Corps Conference - 2011
A Combined Health Corps Conference will be held on Wednesday the 4 May 2011 to coincide with the Asia Pacific Conference (2 - 6 May 11) in Sydney. This will allow health personnel a choice to attend both activities making the most of available unit funding, or simply attend the Combined Health Corps Conference. The intent is to have a one day activity with an evening meal planned for the conclusion of the conference. The theme for the conference will be how the restructure of Combat Health will affect careers, where we see career structures heading in the future and how people will be managed. It will also provide an opportunity for a progress report on developments to date and what is to be expected in the near future. All Health Corps personnel are invited to attend and where funding is limited within units, it is a request that a supervisor and soldier representative attend and report back to their unit. Representation from soldiers at the Combined Health Corps Conference is strongly encouraged.
Further details will be made available soon via the RAAMC / RAANC & RAADC websites for registration and confirmation of the evening activity.

2011 RAAMC ANNUAL CORPS SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE DUE NOW!
RAAMC Corps Funds are now due. Corps Funds benefit members of the RAAMC in many ways, in particular welfare and esprit-de-corps issues that are not funded by Defence. Recently a former member died in WA and the Corps Fund provided a wreath to give an example. REMEMBER RAAMC CORPS FUNDS ARE TAX DEDUCTABLE!!
