Sydney Branch Hybrid Event – The New Kid on the Block – PFAS NEMP 3.0

In Person Registration Sold Out – Online Registrations Available!

Our illustrious speakers bring experience and insight from a broad range of perspectives. Between them, they will speak to the broad changes in PFAS NEMP 3.0, as well as hone in on those changes relating to ecotoxicology (platypus! lizards!). They will offer philosophical insight into where NEMP 3.0 fits in the broader regulatory framework, the strengths and pitfalls associated with this, as well as some missed opportunities.

We will also hear about some of the considerations when auditing PFAS sites, and the recent communications from NSW EPA to the NSW EPA accredited Site Auditors.

Sure to be a popular event and the registration is limited – register quickly so as not to miss out!
