On Our Terms: Indigenous Leadership, Wellbeing, and Future Two days of connection, learning and collective action for Indigenous wellbeing.
IWC26 will take place on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 October 2026 at Hotel Realm, bringing together Indigenous leaders, practitioners, researchers, advocates and allies from across Australia, Aotearoa and the Pacific.
With over 400+ delegates attending IWC25, the Indigenous Wellbeing Conference has become a vital space for honest conversations, shared learning and practical action towards stronger social, emotional, cultural and community wellbeing.
The Canberra region has been a place of gathering for the Ngunnawal people for tens of thousands of years, with deep cultural and spiritual connections to land and water. The name Canberra comes from the Ngunnawal language, meaning meeting place, making it a fitting location to come together for learning, connection and conversation.
