SNAICC National Conference 2027
Tarndanya/Adelaide | Adelaide Convention Centre
14–16 September 2027
SNAICC’27 is expected to be one of the largest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander focused conferences ever held in Australia, bringing together up to 2,500 delegates from more than 400 organisations, associations and services from across the country.
Organised by SNAICC – National Voice for our Children, the national conference will bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, community-controlled services, practitioners, educators, researchers, young people, government representatives, policy makers and non-Indigenous partners together to share knowledge and experience, strengthen connections and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
We look forward to seeing you in Tarndanya/Adelaide in September 2027.

Artwork Acknowledgement & Description
The SNAICC’27 artwork was created by local Kaurna/Narrunga artists and weavers, Kimberly and Cecilia Taylor. The artwork reflects their deep connection to culture, Country and sacred animals, honouring the stories, knowledge and traditions that have been carried through generations.
“Creating this artwork has been both a privilege and an honour.
It represents an enduring legacy that celebrates culture, connection and the importance of ensuring our children’s voices are heard, valued and carried forward into the future.
Our stories light the fire for our future.”
– Kimberly and Cecilia Taylor.
