National Conference 2024

A Place for Everyone

Date: 2-4 September 2024

Location: Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle

It is with great pleasure that Anglicare Australia invites you to the 2024 Anglicare Australia National Conference, to be held from 2–4 September.

We are excited to be holding this event in Newcastle, the heart of the Hunter region and the centre of key debates about regional futures and just climate transitions. Newcastle is the perfect place to explore vital national issues through a regional lens.

Our theme for 2024, A Place for Everyone, captures our work and our presence in every community around the country. While we have a national reach, each part of the Anglicare Australia network approaches our communities with a local focus.

As with all of our conferences, delegates will be treated to concurrent sessions from experts from across the Anglicare Australia Network, some outstanding keynote addresses, and networking opportunities throughout the three days.
