The Conference

The Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy Conference Australia is launching in 2025 with its first inaugural event, hosted at the Hyatt Place Event Centre, Essendon Fields in Melbourne on Thursday and Friday the 10th and 11th of July. This two day conference event is aimed at expanding attendees understanding of Neurodivergence in all its forms, beyond just Autism and ADHD.

The conference brings you world leading experts in the field of Neurodivergence and beyond, and includes keynote and invited speaker sessions from International and National speakers, a research symposium, expert panel discussions on a range of different topics and a exhibition segment of the conference hosted by LOAPAC (The League of Autistic Psychologists and Affirming Colleagues).

The conference is organised and run by a dedicated team of neurodivergent professionals, academics and event organisers with a passion for learning, connection, and inclusion.

The conference can be attended in person or online and both in person and online registrants will gain access to the presentation recordings after the conference for 3 months.

The conference will feature two dedicated sensory areas - sensory chill and sensory seek. One space will be a quiet area with dim lighting, comfortable seating and fidgets with the other being a space to be able to connect and express your energy.
