Guided by the theme Homelessness: disrupting the narrative, this year's conference will bring together leading voices from across Australia's homelessness sector to explore innovative approaches and best practice, while tackling some of the most pressing challenges facing the sector today. 

From funding and partnerships, to access to housing and the meaningful inclusion of people with lived experience in program development and delivery, the conference program is designed to spark genuine dialogue and drive meaningful change.
