Professional Development Awards
The AIOH has a long standing tradition of the Professional Development of members.
One of the ways that you can fast track your professional development is to apply for one of the AIOH Professional Development Awards.
The AIOH is very fortunate to have long standing supporters of the AIOH Professional Development Awards. Without their support we would not be able to provide such a tremendous opportunity to AIOH Members.
Whether you are starting out at the AIOH, mid career or looking at your next career move, then you should seriously consider applying for one of the many awards available.
PLEASE NOTE: the Airmet Professional Advancement Award and the Draeger Young Hygienist Award are reopened for 2021 with the hope that travel restrictions will be sorted out by early 2022. Problems may still arise with difficulties in ensuring international site visits, and uncertainty with travel insurance coverage. Travel for the 2021 awards may be delayed to future years.
Both Airmet and Draeger are committed to continuing these awards when it is safe to do so.
Please send your applications to admin@aioh.org.au
