Our 2025 conference theme is “Innovating CBT for diverse minds, needs, and peoples”.Cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT) continue to evolve to meet the needs of diverse communities, identities, and lived experiences. From the unique challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, trans and gender-diverse, and neurodivergent individuals, to those navigating complex physical, psychological, or social-relational conditions, our field must innovate to ensure CBT remains inclusive, effective, and relevant.
This year’s conference will showcase high-quality, cutting-edge research and clinical practice that pushes the boundaries of traditional CBT while remaining grounded in evidence-based principles. We will explore how adaptations in formulation, intervention, and service delivery can enhance accessibility and effectiveness across diverse cultures, demographics, and conditions. Whether you work in research, clinical practice, or educational settings, this is an opportunity to engage with leading experts, share best practices, and shape the future of CBT.
Join us at the conference to connect, learn, and contribute to a growing movement of innovation and inclusivity in cognitive and behavioural therapies.
