Event Overview
The WA ACCHS Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Sector Conference 2026 brings together SEWB practitioners, program leads, cultural leaders, and sector partners to connect, share knowledge, showcase innovation, and strengthen culturally grounded practice that supports the wellbeing of Aboriginal individuals, families, and communities across the ACCHS sector.
Over two days, delegates will hear from keynote speakers and ACCHSs delivering innovative programs and models of care that are improving SEWB outcomes across Western Australia. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in interactive workshops designed to enhance service delivery and deepen culturally informed practice.
The conference program will focus on four key SEWB service streams:
| Mental Health and Psychosocial Support |
| Suicide Prevention and Aftercare |
| Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence |
| Alcohol and Other Drugs |
Whether you are new to the SEWB workforce or bring years of experience, this conference offers a meaningful opportunity to learn practical approaches, strengthen professional networks, share experiences, and gain insight into the future direction of SEWB service delivery across Western Australia.
