Upcoming Announcements
The Awards excitement isn’t over yet. Next week, we will be announcing our 2025 National Finalists, which will then be followed by the announcement of our National Award winners at the FDCA 2025 National Conference gala dinner.
With just over 6 weeks until the FDCA 2025 National Conference, we are pleased to announce a range of new ticket options that are available for members. Our new single day tickets and Saturday dinner package are the perfect options if you’re on a budget or not able to make it for the entire conference.
For those short on time, a single day ticket is a great way to still be able to access some of the great content on offer at the conference. While those who have a little more time up their sleeve can select the Saturday dinner package and join the gala dinner celebrations.

To avoid disappointment, secure your ticket soon so you don’t miss out on the first round of workshop registrations.

National Child Protection Week is taking place this week from 7-13 September.
The theme for National Child Protection Week in 2025 is 'Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action".
This year’s theme highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough: we must turn dialogue into meaningful action. By shifting from conversation to action, we can ensure that every child not only feels heard but also experiences real safety, care, and protection.
