SUMMARY:Her Mind Her Health Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Women are still being misdiagnosed\, dismissed\, overlooked or left to navigate care that doesn’t adequately account for hormones\, trauma\, neurodivergence\, caregiving pressures\, violence\, chronic stress\, social inequity and the realities of women’s lives. \nThis conference is about some of the most significant challenges facing mental health practice today. The evidence is growing\, and the conversations are changing. The question now is whether your practice\, services and systems are changing fast enough? \nHMHH brings together clinicians\, researchers\, health leaders\, policymakers and advocates to explore where women are being missed\, misunderstood or underserved across healthcare and mental health systems\, and what better care can look like. \nHMHH26 is here to help clinicians better understand the realities women are presenting with right now – across neurodivergence\, trauma\, hormonal mental health\, burnout\, medical dismissal and systemic gaps in care. \nMonday 31 August – Tuesday 1 September 2026\nJW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa\, Gold Coast\, Queensland \nFind out more and register

SUMMARY:Parentshop - 123 Magic and Emotion Coaching
DESCRIPTION:1-2-3 Magic & Emotion Coaching is a one-day professional learning program designed to equip practitioners with practical\, evidence-based strategies for supporting children’s emotional regulation and managing challenging behaviour. \nThe program is grounded in two well-established principles from developmental and behavioural research: \n(1) that children can be supported to develop more adaptive and flexible responses to frustration and emotional distress\, and \n(2) that parents and carers can be taught clear\, structured\, and easy-to-apply strategies that are effective in everyday parenting contexts. \n1-2-3 Magic & Emotion Coaching integrates behavioural limit-setting with Emotion Coaching approaches\, drawing on research demonstrating the effectiveness of consistent\, calm behavioural guidance combined with adult support for children’s emotional understanding and self-regulation. The program has been widely implemented and evaluated internationally\, with evidence indicating improvements in child behaviour\, parent confidence\, and family functioning. \nProfessional training incorporates a range of adult learning methodologies\, including role-play\, guided group discussion\, structured worksheets\, and video-based demonstrations\, to support skill acquisition and applied practice. Courses are delivered via live webinar and face-to-face formats across Australia. \nPractitioners seeking to become Certified Parent Educators are provided with additional curriculum and presentation resources to ensure program fidelity and high-quality delivery to parent audiences. Annual certification supports ongoing quality assurance and alignment with best-practice implementation standards. Certification is renewed annually ($69 in the first year; $49 in subsequent years)\, with a mandatory refresher required every five years. Annual certification is included in the cost of the refresher training. \nFind out more and register \n9am – 4pm \n$410pp \nCertification additional after training

SUMMARY:Third Sector Leaders Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Australian nonprofit sector faces mounting challenges in 2026. Escalating financial constraints from inflation and donor fatigue\, workforce burnout amid volunteer declines\, surging service demands from climate events and economic hardship\, plus governance gaps and digital lags\, are pressuring third sector teams to become more resilient. \nA 2025 ACNC Report reveals unprecedented pressures making it more critical than ever for leaders to secure solutions. 60%+ of small/mid charities battle funding sustainability as expenses outpace income\, while critical services are having to turn people away amid cost of living crises. \nThe Third Sector Leaders Forum 2026 is mission-critical for nonprofit CEOs and executive leaders facing 2026’s execution challenges. It delivers peer-validated frameworks tackling the sector’s top priorities and provides C-suite leaders the practical tools and partnerships needed to turn sector pressures into sustainable impact.

SUMMARY:9th National Child Protection Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join friends and colleagues at the 9th National Child Protection Forum as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations\, governments and communities come together to share community-led solutions that strengthen families\, uphold cultural authority\, and create child protection systems that keep children safe\, connected and thriving within their families\, communities and cultures. \nHeld in Meanjin (Brisbane) from 15–18 September 2026\, the Forum will bring together Aboriginal leaders\, ACCOs\, government\, researchers and the broader child and family sector to explore what meaningful systems transformation looks like when communities lead the way. \nThe National Child Protection Forum comes at a critical point for transformation – a moment to move beyond crisis response and begin bringing a new culture of healing and care in child protection and safety. The programme has been deliberately designed to support this shift\, bringing together leaders\, practitioners and communities to reimagine how systems can better hold children\, families and kin.  \nCentred on prevention\, cultural authority\, equity and cross-sector integration\, the forum supports those working across child protection\, family services\, health\, housing\, disability\, education and justice to move from fragmented and reactive responses toward approaches grounded in care\, connection and shared responsibility.  \nParticipants will leave with practical tools\, real-world examples and strengthened partnerships that enable them to reduce harm earlier\, strengthen families and communities\, and contribute to a child protection system that is more relational\, culturally safe and focused on long-term wellbeing rather than short-term intervention.  \nSee program \nFind out more and register

SUMMARY:National Justice Forum
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning justice systems to deliver real outcomes\, reduce reoffending and improve lives \nThe 5th National Justice Forum brings together leaders from across justice\, government\, community\, legal and frontline services to confront a critical reality\, the current system is not delivering better outcomes.  \nDespite increased investment and reform efforts\, recidivism remains high and First Nations people continue to be overrepresented\, and services operate in fragmented siloes that fail to meet complex needs. \nThis year’s Forum moves beyond discussion to focus on what actually works\, examining the structural drivers of system failure\, showcasing proven models across prevention\, intervention and reintegration\, and identifying the practical changes required to deliver coordinated\, effective and sustainable justice outcomes.  \nThrough evidence-based insights\, cross sector perspectives and real-world case studies\, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to reduce system demand\, improve outcomes for individuals\, and drive meaningful reform across the justice system. \n15-18 September | Meanjin/Brisbane \nFind out more and register
