• Provide a title, author(s) and affiliation(s) – please submit in the lead presenter’s name
• Nominate ONE session theme into which you would like your presentation scheduled
• Indicate whether the abstract is an oral presentation (most presentations are 15 mins plus 5 mins Q&A, however some sessions are lightning presentations of 10 mins/5 slides) or a poster presentation
• Provide a 300-word abstract (maximum 2100 characters including spaces)
• Agree to abide by the Association’s Code of Ethics, Sexual Harassment Policy 2012, Discrimination Policy 2012, Equal Opportunity Policy 2012 and Website and Social Media Policies.
• Confirm that at least one presenter of the paper/poster is a current member of the Association and will register to attend the conference by 1 September 2025.

The Conference Organisers reserve the right to reassign your paper if they feel it is more appropriate for another session theme.

Lead presenters may only present one oral paper and one poster during the conference, although they may be co-authors on any number of other papers and posters.

Abstracts submissions close 13 June 2025.

Presentation Protocols
Delegates and Session Organisers are reminded of the Association’s Code of Ethics regarding protocols for the presentation of any data and/or interpretations of data that relate to Indigenous culture. These protocols require all Session Organisers and presenters to ensure that free prior and informed consent to collect, record, and present data and interpretations relating to Indigenous cultural materials is obtained from Indigenous collaborators and/or owners of data before any presentation is accepted into a session and subsequently presented at the conference, as either a spoken paper or poster. We take this opportunity to reiterate that breaches of the Association’s Code of Ethics can result in the expulsion of members under section 32 of the Constitution.

Paper and poster presenters will be asked to agree to abide by the Association’s Code of Ethics, Sexual Harassment Policy 2012, Discrimination Policy 2012, Equal Opportunity Policy 2012 and Website and Social Media Policies during the submission process.
