Voices for the Bush Conference 2024

This inaugural national conference will be held in Alice Springs and is proudly hosted by WSAA and The Australian Water Association.

The conference will bring together decision makers, policy makers, water utilities, services providers, government agencies, consultants and suppliers to share knowledge for developing, maintaining and operating smaller water supplies for Indigenous communities, local governments and remote communities in regional, remote and rural Australia. Importantly the conference will also hear "voices from the bush" with First Nations and Indigenous perspectives.

This year we are even more committed to crafting a conference that goes a step further to engage with Indigenous communities in a more effective way. We will actively invite in session ideas, truth telling and story telling that is outside of the regular conference format. So please share your ideas with us via this form. We want to be vulnerable and listen in a collaborative and constructive manner, to ensure the conference has real impact and generates a lasting legacy of change.
