Join us on the land of the Mulgoa Clan of the Dharug Nation for a comprehensive three-day event dedicated to those working with and for Aboriginal children, young people and families.

AbSec events are designed to bring together individuals, communities, and organisations dedicated to supporting Aboriginal children, families, and communities across New South Wales.

Join us on as we meet on the beautiful land of the Mulgoa Clan of the Dharug Nation for the 2024 NSW Aboriginal Child and Family Conference. Hosted by AbSec, the conference will be a comprehensive three-day event dedicated to those working with and for Aboriginal children, young people and families.

This year’s conference is set to feature an extensive program, encompassing concurrent sessions, workshops, performances and networking opportunities, all designed to foster understanding and empowerment within this vital community.

Each day of the conference offers a series of sessions, led by experts and thought leaders, focusing on themes central to the welfare and growth of Aboriginal children and families. These sessions will provide insights into cultural safety, family empowerment and community-led initiatives.
