Strengthening Partnerships to Close the Gap

Despite decades of commitment, the Closing the Gap National Agreement continues to face challenges, with the mid-term review highlighting slow progress across key priority areas. Delivering meaningful outcomes for First Nations peoples requires stronger partnerships, shared decision-making, and innovative approaches that center community voices.

The Strengthening Partnerships to Close the Gap Conference has been designed to address these challenges, bringing together ACCOs, governments, and sector leaders to highlight proven partnerships driving systemic change and explore practical strategies to accelerate progress.
This conference is a must-attend for anyone committed to driving systemic change and advancing First Nations outcomes. It provides a national platform for dialogue, learning, and collaboration with key decision-makers across federal, state, and local governments, as well as ACCOs and thought leaders. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, delegates will gain actionable insights, strengthen cross-sector networks, and leave equipped to embed shared decision-making, build sustainable partnerships, and deliver tangible impact in their communities.
