NATSIAACC are hosting the Inaugural National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ageing and Aged Care Conference on the 3-4 November 2026 on beautiful Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country (Canberra).

The theme for our Inaugural National Conference is Ageing Our Way Through Culture, Connection, and Community. This theme reflects the strength and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and recognises the critical role that culture, community, family and connection play in supporting Elders and Older People to age with dignity, respect and cultural safety.

This historic gathering will bring together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care providers, Elders and Older People, community leaders, policymakers, researchers, and sector partners from across the country to yarn, share knowledge, and shape the future of Ageing and Aged Care in Australia.

At a time of significant national Aged Care reform, this Conference represents an important opportunity for the sector to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, elevate community-led solutions, and contribute to meaningful and lasting change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Providers, Elders and Older People.

The Conference is supported by a range of partners and exhibitors who are contributing to this important national gathering alongside the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ageing and Aged Care sector.
