ACOSS National Conference 2010: A vote for equity

The Australian Council of Social Service annual conference is a major event for social services and the community sector. It is a key opportunity to examine our country from the perspective of low income Australians: what policies and programs are working; and what we need to change; and how best we can achieve that.

ACOSS annual conference is a well-attended event, with over 500 people attending in recent years. Conference participants come from a broad cross section of community and welfare organisations, state and federal government departments, tertiary institutions, business, unions and individuals with an interest in community issues and social justice.

The conference is a chance to hear about and discuss key areas of social policy, community sector services, and the needs of social service clients and their communities. Plenary and workshop sessions bringtogether policy-makers, practitioners, consumers, academics and other researchers on key topics of relevance to social services.
