Let 2017 be the year I can say to you “G’day mates and welcome to Cairns, Australia!”
Where is Cairns, you may ask?
Right here at the top of Queensland:

Surrounded by spectacular beaches, spectacular hinterland, bustling markets, wildlife, the Daintree Rainforest and the stunning Great Barrier Reef, Cairns will be the place to be in 2017.
We look forward to introducing you to all the beauty and diversity that the Cairns and Far North Queensland region has to offer.

The 2017 International Women & Law Enforcement Conference will be hosted by the Australasian Council of Women and Policing (ACWAP), the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) and the Queensland Police Service. It will combine the 55th Annual Training Conference for IAWP, the 10th biannual conference for ACWAP and the 19th ACWAP Awards for Excellence.
A special thank-you to our conference ambassadors, Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin from Australia Zoo. Located just one hour north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Zoo is becoming the biggest and best wildlife conservation facility in the world.
I know we are going to have a fantastic time. I encourage you to register your interest for this conference, which is themed “Global Networks: Local Law Enforcement”.
See you in Cairns in September 2017!
Debbie
