At IHMA the staff of the secretariat have been keeping abreast of updates from the WHO and national and local authorities. They have taken into consideration all available information, weighed all possible options and have come to the difficult decision to reschedule the IHMA Congress which was due to take place in Hobart on 23-26 March 2020.

The 2020 Congress will now be held in Hobart at the Grand Chancellor Hotel on 5-8 October 2020.

It is reported that current speakers, many of whom have already prepared their papers and presentations, will be able to attend the Congress on the rescheduled dates in October.
