Public Health Precautions at ‘in-person’ Events
To protect the health and safety of the DIAA’s employees, contractors, members, guests and employees of the DIAA’s service providers as well as the wider community, from time to time the DIAA may require that Attendees at Events that are held in-person take certain steps to help prevent community transmission of disease, in accordance with guidance provided by the applicable Department of Health in that state or territory and the DIAA’s obligations under relevant work health and safety laws.
The steps that the DIAA may take at a particular Event to help prevent the community transmission of a disease will depend on a number of factors which include:
- State and Commonwealth public health laws, orders and directives that apply from time to time; and
- Rates of transmission in the local community.
Where the DIAA determines that an in-person Event cannot be held due to an increased risk of transmission of a communicable disease, it will make arrangements to reschedule the Event or offer the Event as a virtual event able to be attended by video-conferencing service as it determines in its sole discretion.
Virtual (Online Only)
Virtual (Online Only) registrations do not permit the registrant to attend the event in person.
Other types of registrations may also be transferred to Virtual (Online Only) registrations up to three weeks prior to the event and at the discretion of The Dairy Industry Association of Australia Ltd. If applicable, a partial refund may also be offered less administration fees and at the discretion of The Dairy Industry Association of Australia Ltd.
