NSPC27 Conference Theme

Build Hope. Drive Change

Hope starts with connection and grows through action. At NSPC27, we build hope by bringing together lived experience, research, policy and practice – creating space for shared learning, stronger partnerships and meaningful progress. Together, we can drive change that strengthens communities and helps create a more connected, compassionate and hopeful future.

The 2027 conference theme, Build Hope. Drive Change, reflects the belief that hope is not inactive – it is something we create together through connection, compassion, evidence and action.

NSPC27 brings together lived experience, research, policy and practice to help shape a more hopeful future for suicide prevention in Australia.

When we create space for honest, compassionate, and courageous conversations, we open the door to new ideas, stronger connections, and practical action that can save lives.
