Join the Aboriginal Women & Children’s Refuges Summit
19–20 August on Darug/Dharug Country
You’re invited to a powerful two-day gathering on Darug/Dharug Country, bringing together ACCO-led and Aboriginal-managed refuge services from across NSW. This Summit honours and uplifts the journeys of Aboriginal women and children moving from crisis into safety, healing and renewed strength, while recognising the vital role of culturally safe, Aboriginal-led services.
Over two days, participants will hear from inspiring speakers, connect with sector-wide supports and resources, and engage in cultural activities and networking opportunities across the refuges space. It’s also a chance to come together as a community to strengthen collaboration and support safer futures for Aboriginal families.
