BDAV Regional Groups
The BDAV has various Regional Groups throughout the State of Victoria which provide discussion forums for members in the country, giving them the opportunity to network amongst their peers and to promote and influence local initiatives specific to their region. Non-members and visitors are welcome to attend any of the Regional Meetings, provided they comply with the registration procedures.
