Webinars Coming Soon
ALARA is now preparing for its first webinars. We are working with the editorial representatives of several AL / AR publications to present two webinars on getting your paper published. We expect the first of these webinars will be in May.
We are also discussing a workshop and webinar, probably in Melbourne, about Climate Action. This webinar is likely to be held in April (if we can get the mythical ducks in a row in time). Another webinar is also in the planning.
More information about these webinars will be announced in coming weeks. We hope you will join us.
If you would like to assist, or present at a webinar, please send your ideas or offer of help to admin[at}alarassociation.org.

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 will be removing that site in coming weeks. People registered on the site have been sent an email, encouraging them to copy anything they wish to keep from the site before it closes.
