Centre, reflect, transform: A rights-based future 
for neuropsychology

Why is it important to keep asking ourselves how our own or society’s ideas might affect the way we understand someone’s brain or behaviour? 

Join Australia’s leading clinical neuropsychologists for three days of learning, networking, and professional growth. Connect with colleagues, researchers, and students to shape the future of neuropsychology and advance equitable, culturally responsive care. 




This year, we invite you to centre, reflect, and transform. 

Together, we’ll critically examine how systemic inequities, power dynamics, and diverse perspectives influence neuropsychological assessment, intervention, and outcomes. The conference provides a platform to integrate lived experience, community leadership, and current research into everyday practice - exploring how a rights-based approach can enhance mental health and cognitive wellbeing across the lifespan.



What you’ll take away 

After the conference, you’ll be ready to: 

  • Apply evidence-based strategies across clinical neuropsychology research and community settings 
  • Navigate ethical and competency standards with confidence  
  • Support and deliver inclusive, rights-based care for clients from diverse backgrounds 
  • Use innovative tools and digital approaches to extend your impact 
  • Collaborate across disciplines to improve outcomes 

Key focus areas include: 

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives 
  • Cultural influences on neuropsychology 
  • Disability and accessibility 
  • Age-related neuropsychological needs 
  • LGBTIQA+ identity and inclusion 
  • Neurodiversity and innovative care approaches
