ACWA, in partnership with Fams NSW, is proud to announce a new collaboration to deliver a joint International Conference in 2027, bringing together the child, family and community services sector from across NSW, Australia and internationally.
The conference will take place from 30 June to 2 July 2027 at the International Convention Centre, Sydney, and will provide an exciting opportunity for leaders, practitioners, policymakers and researchers to connect, collaborate and help shape the future of support for children, young people and families.
This partnership reflects the shared commitment of ACWA and Fams NSW to stronger outcomes for children and families, and a shared belief that collaboration, innovation and sector leadership have never been more important.
The conference will create space for practical conversations, fresh ideas, shared learning and meaningful connection across the full continuum of support, from early intervention and family preservation through to out-of-home care and child and family wellbeing.
As the sector continues to navigate significant reform, workforce pressures and increasing complexity, the conference will showcase innovation, evidence-informed practice, lived experience perspectives and collaborative approaches that strengthen outcomes for children, families and communities.
