News

In recent months, the ASSCT website has been attacked by hackers. The attack did significantly slow-down responses from the website and it also made it impossible for the ASSCT to update the site. The ASSCT website has now been restored and we are once again able to update it. Unfortunately, it was impossible to restore all the recent news articles. However, it does appear as though the remainder of the materials are now again available for members.

Update 6/2/2021.  The restoration is still a work-in-progess - the restored website doesn't allow users to dowload papers or view abstracts.

Women currently working in the agriculture sector have a final opportunity to register their interest in a scholarship worth up to $5,000 to support participation in an online leadership development program.

It is unsure when this funding will be available again, and the registration deadline has been extended until 5pm on June 19. Find out more here: www.wla.edu.au/farmingagriculture.html

The Members of the ASSCT executive are happy to announce the new dates for the 2020 Conference.

The new dates are Tuesday 20 April to Friday 23 April 2021 and will be held at the same venue, Bundaberg Multiplex Sports & Convention Centre, Bundaberg.

All of the work that has already been done in planning for the ASSCT Conference will be transferred to 2021, including the exhibition, sponsorship, registered delegates, peer reviewed papers and posters which will automatically be rolled over until then.

We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.
