Step away from the conference hustle and take a moment to relax, recharge, and connect. Join us for a short, guided walk across the beautiful grounds of the Gold Coast’s RACV Royal Pines Resort. This light activity is a great way to enjoy some fresh air, sunshine, and meaningful conversation with fellow delegates.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people or simply take a mindful break, you’re welcome to join in. Conversation cards will be available if you’d like a prompt or just walk and talk freely at your own pace.

Delegate Wellbeing & Support

We recognise that the conversations held at this conference can be powerful, personal and, at times, confronting. Your wellbeing is central to the experience we are creating.

Confidential, qualified counsellors will be available onsite throughout the event, with a dedicated private counselling room for any delegate seeking immediate support. A quiet space will also be available for those who feel overstimulated or simply need time away from the program to decompress.

You are encouraged to step outside for fresh air, take a gentle walk around RACV, or pause whenever you need. If attending sessions in person feels overwhelming, keynote presentations and main plenary sessions can be viewed online from your hotel room or from home if required.

There is no expectation to push through. Move at your own pace. Step in and out as needed. We are here to support you thoughtfully, respectfully and without judgement.
