Masterclasses and Events

Regular online skills sharing sessions, masterclasses and events are also held throughout the year to enhance members’ professional development. These are organised by the PHA (Vic & Tas) Events Sub-Committee and offer members the opportunity to develop their professional skills, such as in public speaking or oral history.
