The first annual meeting of the Sirius Software Australian User Group was held from Monday, November 8 through Tuesday, November 9 in Canberra. The event was hosted at the Country Comfort Inn. Turnout was excellent, with representatives from several out of town Model 204 sites joining with a large number of Centrelink staff.

The Sirius team was present in force, and gave many presentations. The conference provided a valuable opportunity for Sirius staff to interact with a diverse group of knowledgeable and informed customers. Highlights of the conference included presentations from Centrelink on their current applications and future directions for Model 204, with a memorable performance from Guy Hutchinson.

Many of the the presentations given are available online. See the information and tips below on the alternative choices for viewing these presentations.

  • Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer.

  • As a single document containing all foils. This is a convenient format format for viewing or printing all the foils, however, it can take a long time to download the entire document.
  • As a linked set of foils. This is an easy and fast way to look at the first few foils, however, it is inconvenient for printing and requires a user/network interaction per foil.
