The numbers attending this event demonstrate the strength of belief in the quest for OH&S and injury management excellence among South Australia’s self insurers. SISA expresses gratitude for the support of the event sponsors, led by Piper Alderman Lawyers and Stonehaven Wines. This year’s event was by far the largest, and it is rapidly growing in status in the South Australian calendar.
