Annually, TEFMA ordinarily conducts two workshops\courses in Australasia,
one in Australia and a second in New Zealand. These workshops complement
the Annual Conference programmes and are used to explore emerging
or topical issues facing Facilities Managers. The workshops are
run over a period of two days.
TEFMA members often attend or provide formal presentations at other
associations such as SCUP or FMA, thereby developing broader professional
links within the Facilities Management/ Property industry sectors.
TEFMA members currently receive member rates for FMA workshops.
