Executive Director’s Report

John Jannese

COCA 6th Biennial Conference - a huge success
What an event - and tour de force for COCA. It was a pleasure to again meet with the many chiropractors, osteopaths and health professionals from many other disciplines, during the conference.

President Dr Peter Werth opened the conference together with principal sponsor of the event Victorian Workcover Authority (VWA). Delegates were privileged to hear from international speakers Professor Gordon Waddell and Dr Mitch Hass, ably supported by Dr Lynda Walshe, Ms Susan Slade, Dr Peter Cotton, Dr Steve de Graff, Dr Melainie Cameron, Dr Henry Pollard, and COCA patron Mr David de la Harpe.

Thank you to conference session moderators Dr Simon French, Dr Bruce Walker, Dr Melainie Cameron, Dr John Reggars, Dr Jo-Anne Maire, Dr Stanley Innes and Dr Henry Pollard, together with omnipresent staff members Mr Alan Ralph, Ms Colleen Ralph and Mr Syd Sharpe.

Thanks also go to our keynote speaker sponsor QBE Insurance and supporting day sponsors Medfin Finance and Aon Risk Services, together with all our partners in the trade display area, which was by far one of the best presented I have seen.

COCA Membership Directory - hurry closing soon
COCA has nearly completed compilation of its first annual membership directory. All members have been asked to carefully check their practice details and to make any changes legibly and then to return this information to COCA - but hurry the directory is closing soon.

Compliments of the Season
I wish all COCA members and supporters a safe and happy holiday season and a professionally rewarding 2006.
