Now in its third year, the  Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association’s Indigenous Wellbeing Conference seeks to improve the wellness, wellbeing and health of all Indigenous, First Nations Australian, Māori and Pasifika.

This year’s conference will be held on Larrakia land in Darwin. The Indigenous wellbeing conference theme, topics and final program is carefully curated by a committee with Indigenous cultural, community, services and business leaders.  The conference supports ‘nothing about Indigenous Peoples, without Indigenous Peoples’ when reviewing presenter applications so you can rest assured the content at the conference is extremely relevant for the sector.
