CLIMATE AND DRESS
Darwin has a tropical climate and in September the humidity is just returning. Temperatures will vary from mid 20’s of a night to low 30’s C of a day time. The dress is very casual and the aim for your stay and the conference should be comfort. Keep it light. Jackets and ties for men can stay at home. With many buildings air-conditioned, including the conference venue, a light top, longer sleeves or shoulder wrap is sometimes called for. Increasing & maintaining hydration is another important consideration for those from the southern states.
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION POINTS
GPs and primary care doctors will be eligible for RACGP ( Royal Australian College of General Practitioners) and ACRRM ( Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine) continuing medical education points.
