The West Australian Branch of HERDSA is highly active in providing
professional development and networking opportunities in Teaching and Learning for the WA Higher Education
Community. We run several highly collegial and well attended events throughout the year, including
an annual HERDSA Rekindled miniconference, where WA HERDSA members re-present their HERDSA conference
papers to a local audience. We welcome all to these events and look forward to seeing you there.
