The theme for the 2026 Conference is: ‘Beyond Boundaries’

Beyond Boundaries, our 2026 conference theme, invites educators to explore how they are tackling the unique challenges and opportunities to innovate and support students with additional learning needs. The conference will recognise all aspects of schooling including regional, rural, and remote education. We warmly welcome

abstract submissions sharing the breaking down of barriers and moving beyond boundaries—geographical, cultural, educational, or systemic—to innovate and support teaching and learning. Join colleagues from across

Australia and beyond to share evidence-informed approaches that are making a difference in diverse educational settings.

The theme of the conference will be represented within the program and presenters should endeavour to address the theme.

The Conference will provide opportunities for educators, academics, community members and key stakeholders to come together to collaborate, share knowledge and learn together.
