Sponsorship & exhibition opportunities
Together, we can take steps toward a future where equality is lived, not just hoped for.
Thank you for your interest in sponsoring or exhibiting at the 2026 NSW Aboriginal Child & Family Conference, presented by AbSec.

By sponsoring or exhibiting, your organisation becomes an ally in this vital movement. By supporting this conference you are investing in Aboriginal-led solutions, strengthening community voices, and helping us build a system where children can grow up safe, connected, and proud in culture.
AbSec is a not-for-profit organisation committed to the empowerment and protection of Aboriginal children and families. We are recognised by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.
Stronger Together: Uniting Voices, Empowering Futures
Thriving partnerships for our kids, our culture, our way
Aboriginal children make up 40 percent of those in out-of-home care, despite being just five percent of the population under the age of 18. In New South Wales, Aboriginal children are being removed from their homes at 10 times the rate of non-Aboriginal children. We cannot allow this generation to face the same injustices of the past. Real reform is urgent, and it must be led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
On behalf of the AbSec Board and our team, I thank you for considering this opportunity. We can drive real change—for our kids, our culture, our way.
— John Leha, CEO AbSec
