Upcoming events
with AMWA

AMWA has hit the ground running in 2023 and we're excited to invite you to our networking event in Melbourne, being hosted by one of valued members, Kaye Stenvers.

The free-of-charge event is open to all, with drinks and nibbles being covered by AMWA.

Join us from 5.30pm - 7.30pm at Beer DeLuxe, Federation Square, Flinders Street.

It's a great opportunity for some casual, relaxed networking and socialising, and a great chance for the non-members of our community to learn more about AMWA, and the services and support we provide.

We hope to see you there!
