The STEP Australia Board and National Committee Chairs held their Annual In-Person Strategic Board Meeting on Thursday 26 February 2026 in Tasmania.
Our Annual In-Person Strategic Board Meeting is a wonderful initiative that brings together national representatives from across Australia, strengthening connection, collaboration and shared purpose. This dedicated time together is incredibly important, enabling meaningful discussion, strategic alignment and the opportunity to focus on the future direction of STEP Australia.
We extend our sincere thanks to our Board of Directors and National Committee Chairs for your time, engagement, and contribution to making the day such a success.
