Join us for the 2026 Australian Guardianship and Administration Council Conference in Brisbane

The Australian Guardianship and Administration Council (AGAC) is the national peak body for Australia’s Public Advocates, Public Guardians, Public or State Trustees, and the heads of State and Territory adult guardianship tribunal lists.

We are excited to invite you to the 2026 AGAC Conference, taking place in Brisbane, with both in-person and online participation options.

The theme of the 2026 conference is Decision Time: Let’s be the change. Our program will feature a range of presentations and panel discussions designed to inform, challenge, and inspire reflection on how the rights of people with cognitive disability are being implemented, and the work still to be done.

Key topics to be explored include:

• First Nations guardianship
• Reforms after the Disability Royal Commission and NDIS Review
• Aged Care reforms
• Elder abuse
• Supported decision-making
• Adult safeguarding
• Modernising financial guardianship

We would be delighted for you to join us in Brisbane (or online).

Chairperson
