AIPA Members Gathering

The first official Australian Indigenous Psychologists Association (AIPA) Members Gathering was held on Kombumerri Country at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Gold Coast from 4-6 May 2025 for 40 AIPA members. We helped the AIPA team with end-to-end event management and logistical support of the gathering.

The AIPA Members Gathering was designed to bring together AIPA members at all career levels to connect and engage, and to leave the gathering feeling refreshed and inspired. The gathering started with a relaxed welcome reception on the evening of 4 May, and continued with two conference days with one stream of content and a BBQ dinner on 5 May.

All events were held within the beachfront location of the Sheraton Grand Mirage hotel, a picturesque setting away from the bustle of Surfers Paradise. All guests stayed at the hotel, where we managed the room block bookings and requirements.

We brought together a wellness and cultural program, incorporating Culturally Informed Trauma Integrated Healing sessions from We Al-li, cultural yoga sessions with Aunty Jacqui Jarrett, weaving workshops with Magpie Dreaming and individual head and shoulder massages.

We managed member registrations using our event software and event enquiries through a dedicated event inbox.
