Australia’s first-ever national event focused solely on profound autism

Join us on 17 and 18 November 2025 in person at the State Library of NSW or via Livestream, as we convene world-class expertise, lived experience voices, and practical solution-building in a mix of presentation and discussion panels. Whether you are a parent or caregiver, a family member, clinician, educator, service provider, or policymaker, we invite you to be part of this history-making event designed to put profound autism back on the national agenda.

No matter your role or circumstances, there’s a ticket option to suit you. Parents and carers, as well as professionals, can choose to attend in-person at the State Library of NSW or join via livestream from anywhere. 

Flexible options are available for the Parent/Carer 2 day ticket, that allows family members to share attendance across both days under one ticket. 

All in-person tickets for 17 November also include entry to the evening networking event. All tickets, both in-person and livestream, include 6 months’ on-demand access to session recordings after the event.
