Welcome to the 12th
Australian Institute of Family Studies Conference

The AIFS Conference is the premier event for discussing cutting-edge research findings, policy priorities and topical issues important to family wellbeing in Australia.

The program will focus on a variety of issues relating to families, such as:

  • family formation, developmental stages, and transition points across the life course
  • family functioning and diversity
  • social and economic participation of families
  • trajectories of families and points of service system intervention – particularly for vulnerable families
  • family law and family relationships
  • prevention and responses to violence, abuse, and neglect

This conference is for researchers, policy makers and service providers working with families – parents, children, young people and senior family members.

AIFS Director Professor Alan Hayes talks about the AIFS Conference.
