KWY Aboriginal Corporation – First Nations Therapeutic Responses Summit 2026
March 18 @ 8:00 am - March 20 @ 5:00 pm
KWY is proud to invite you to the 2026 First Nations Therapeutic Responses Summit — a dynamic, three-day gathering designed to share transformative ideas and deepen culturally responsive practice for Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence and Child Protection systems within First Nations communities.
Hosted on the banks of Karrawirra Parri (River Torrens) at the Adelaide Oval, this year’s summit carries the powerful theme “Creating a Space for Innovation.” It’s a call to action — to challenge systems, elevate First Nations ways of doing and build lasting solutions that create real change.
At the heart of the Summit is a commitment to hands-on learning, connection and collective growth. Attendees will leave with practical tools, renewed energy and a clearer path to implementing effective, community-led therapeutic responses. Our carefully curated program brings together trailblazers from across Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand), offering a rich mix of perspectives and wisdom.
What to expect:
- Captivating keynote speakers who are reshaping the landscape of therapeutic responses
- Candid, challenging panel conversations exploring bold solutions
- Immersive sessions and workshops designed to motivate and enhance your practice
- Breakout spaces for deep dives into emerging practices, cultural frameworks, and lived experiences
- Opportunities to connect with like-minded practitioners and leaders
- Culturally safe space to pause, recharge and reconnect throughout the Summit
