Welcome to Building Caring Communities

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present.

The ‘Building Caring Communities’ International Conference aims to bring together a diverse group of practitioners, people with lived experience, researchers, policymakers, and advocates who are committed to promoting evidence informed practices and improve client outcomes in the child and family sector.

Key aims of the conference

Collaboration and knowledge exchange and the cultivation of best practices within the child and family sector.

Address the challenges and opportunities in translating research findings and evidence-based approaches into practice, with consideration to the social and cultural context in which support is provided.

Hear from diverse voices, including practitioners, people with lived experience, researchers, and policymakers.
