Simon Kingham

great thank you so much blair and welcome everyone thank you it's great to be here i'm so glad to be here and have the opportunity to talk about the work that we've done on this guide over the last two years as blair mentioned i'm here representing a significant project team in particular my co-authors dale harris paul durden and kath jacobs so We had a whole team from ABLI working closely with Blair and with Osterhodes to develop this project alongside input from the working group and jurisdictional engagement as well.

I also want to acknowledge our expert advisory group, which included Dr. Simon Kingham from New Zealand, Dr. Julia Griswold from the USA, and Dr. Rafe Crispietta from Australia.

So we're really fortunate to draw on a wealth of expertise as we develop this project.

So to give you a bit of an overview, as Blair mentioned, this project actually consists of dual publications.
