Quarterly Sector Forum | May 2025

Community-Led Solutions: A Pathway to Collective Wellbeing

As we navigate challenges and opportunities in child and family services, it’s clear that Aboriginal voices must be at the forefront of shaping change. The May 2025 Quarterly Sector Forum, held on traditional land of the Dharug people, is more than just a gathering—it’s a chance to connect, learn, and drive meaningful action alongside sector leaders, advocates, and community members. 

About this gathering

The future of our sector starts with community-led solutions. These two days are about empowering ourselves to lead changes that respect our values, cultures, and aspirations. This gathering will reinforce the importance of having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices front and centre. 

Meals provided: Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea will be served each day to ensure everyone is well-fuelled for meaningful discussions. 

Day One
Exclusive to Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) and community members for culturally safe, in-depth conversations.   
Day Two
Open to all stakeholders—here we broaden the dialogue to include allies and partners in our journey.   

Networking opportunities 

End Day One with a relaxed networking event to foster deeper connections within our community.   Day Two will conclude with an open forum for all attendees to share insights and coordinate efforts for a collective impact.   
Join us alongside these essential organisations who will be presenting over the two-day forum!

This two-day forum is designed to:

Provide updates on current initiatives

Offer guidance on best practices and strategies

Create space for active engagement and meaningful discussions

Strengthen networks among stakeholders
