A highlight of the annual ADONZ conference is celebrating the latest cohort of dispensing opticians who have completed the Australasian College of Dispensing (ACOD) and OptiBlocks Cert IV in Optical Dispensing.
The 2023 meeting was no exception, with top student awards going to Laura Thompson (first in course), Antonia Kohler (second) and Hannah Spencer (third).
This year’s graduation went like clockwork and the enthusiastic students made it truly memorable, said ACOD director Chedy Kalach. “Getting back to regular face-to-face workshops meant we had a large cohort of students progressing through the course together. They were all supporting each other and happy about their fellow students’ successes.” There was a real buzz in the air as this new community of certified DOs officially joined the profession, he said.
