ALARA-BALT 2020 Australasian Conference
The Conference is over, but the work continues. Each session was recorded, and those recordings will soon be available to participants. Another piece of good news is the conference made a small profit, which helps ALARA's finances for future activities.

Call for Venue for ALARA 2021 Conference
The ALARA Board is seeking a potential venue for next year's event. Preparing for a conference takes a good twelve months (and sometimes more), so a partner for the 2021 Conference must be identified soon. Naturally, potential restrictions to travel across State and international borders and social distancing may continue well into 2021, so an event must be able to cope with face-to-face, virtual or a hybrid arrangements.
If you would like to discuss a possible event, please contact us at admin[at]alarassociation.org.

Invitation to Assist ALARA
ALARA's Board has identified a range of activities and they are seeking people willing to assist in delivering these activities. Examples of these activities include:
- After the success of the conference, several ideas for webinars have been floated.
- Several members are involved in research, with at least two other projects on the horizon. The alliance with GCWAL (see below) also supports further research.
- The recognition of First Nations People and supporting their work in action learning and action research is another exciting opportunity.
If you would like to know more, or want to assist, please contact ALARA.<

Journal Site Renewal
The old Journal site has been replaced and is located at https://alarj.alarassociation.org.
You can access the new site, just like the old site. Your original login and password will be the same, but please note, the main site and Journal site have different logins, and if you had different user names and passwords, that will continue.
If you cannot access the Journal site properly, please email admin@alarassociation.org.

Old ALARA Site
The old ALARA site (alara.net.au) is written in old code, and has not been updated for several years. ALARA plans to remove that site late this year. People registered on the site have recently been sent an email, encouraging them to copy anything they wish to keep from the site before it closes.

A Special Issue of the ALAR Journal containing papers from the CARN-ALARA Conference in 2019 has been published.
