Program
The conference program will consist of a series of presentations, symposia, posters, panel sessions plus three prominent keynote speakers to ensure a stimulating, groundbreaking and highly informative educational event.
The presentations will enable researchers, policy makers and practitioners to report on their findings from family related research and practice. 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
Within the program, a highlight will be three panel sessions focussing on:
- low income families
- family law and family violence
- family diversity
Across all of these areas, the program will include sessions that address how these issues for families intersect with:
- locational disadvantage
- Australia’s ageing population
- the needs of Indigenous families
- Australia’s cultural diversity
