“We invite you to be a partner with the peak NSW non-government body that represents the voice of community organisations – and be a voice as we work together to support our vulnerable children, young people and their families.”
Welcome to ACWA 2024
On behalf of the ACWA 2024 Conference Organising Committee, I would like to invite you to be part of the Association of Children’s Welfare Agencies Conference (ACWA 2024) by way of participating as a sponsor or exhibitor. This Conference is widely regarded as the premier child and family welfare professional event held in Australia.
ACWA 2024 will be held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, located in Darling Harbour, Sydney. In addition to providing professional opportunities for input and debate for practitioners, policy makers, researchers and academics, the Conference will provide delegates with an opportunity to renew connections and acquaintances, and of course meet new colleagues from within the profession.
Various levels of involvement are proposed, however if there are any other ways in which you would like to participate, the Conference Managers will be very happy to consider your suggestions and discuss these with you.
We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming your organisation as one of our valued sponsorship partners and commend you to consider the valuable contribution you will be able to make towards our efforts in continuing to meet the challenges ahead.
We look forward to welcoming you to ACWA 2024.
