Welcome to the website for the 2022 ASAL Conference.

Our next presentation is on Friday 5 August at 2pm. Please join us via zoom: https://utas.zoom.us/j/85401439774

We acknowledge the palawa/pakana and Gadigal people, the traditional custodians of the land upon which we live and work. We honour their enduring culture and knowledges as vital to the self-determination, wellbeing and resilience of their communities, and to shaping a just, inclusive and equitable Australian society.
