AAFT NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2021
D__STANCES Generational Impacts of Displacement & Resettlement
In line with our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all of our valued Members and Delegates, we have responded to present circumstances by making the difficult decision to defer the 41st Annual Australian Family Therapy Conference that was originally scheduled for Thursday 9 and Friday 10 September 2021, the conference will now take place Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 October 2021.
Postponing this year’s conference is reflective of our concerns regarding the interstate travel of speakers and attendees, however, these changed conditions have also presented an opportunity for us to reimagine and further adapt the format of our forthcoming events through a COVIDSafe lens. The conference will no longer be a hybrid meeting, it will be presented virtually.
We are currently working through details and the website will be updated as details are confirmed.
We thank you for your patience, flexibility and understanding as we navigate through the pandemic and the challenges it presents.
