    We recognise the deep wisdom and expertise held within Indigenous and multicultural communities and would love to create space for you to share your insights, stories, and practices in a way that feels meaningful to you. We welcome contributions in various forms, including traditional presentations, storytelling, case studies, and interactive discussions.

    The Late Breaking sessions are informative fast-paced 5-minute presentations. The sessions are dedicated to new information or important findings not fully available before the general abstract deadline. Presentations are five minutes max and should have no more than five slides.

    Late Breaking presentations are held during plenary sessions and provide an opportunity to present to all conference delegates. Late Breakers are one of the most popular sessions with delegates at the conference.

    Late Breaking abstracts are not an extension of the general abstract submission deadline, and such abstracts will not be accepted.

    In order to standardise the abstract layout, we kindly ask you to read the abstract submission guidelines carefully and use the appropriate abstract template provided.

    Notification regarding late breaking abstract's status will be sent to the presenting author of the abstract the week commencing 1 September 2025.

    Abstracts will be accepted for oral and poster late breaking presentations.

The award will be announced at the closing session of the conference.

    There will also be certificates for the runner up and an honourable mention.
