Online briefings

Online briefings

We want reporters located anywhere in Australia to hear what scientists have to say at AusSMC national media briefings.

That's why all our media briefings are now streamed online so that journalists not able to attend the briefing can still follow the event and ask questions from their desk.

When you log in to an online briefing, you will be able to see the PowerPoint slides on your screen and listen to the discussion via audio streaming.

It is recommended that you start the online event a few minutes before it is due to start using links provided by email or on this website, but you can also join the briefing anytime while it is in progress.

ASKING QUESTIONS
If you wish to ask a question during question time, simply type your question and your affiliation into the Q&A box on your portal screen.
