With representation across aged care, disability, education, mental health and child safety this symposium will be values focused, action – oriented and provide cross conversations. Why should you be part of this event? • Because the gap between knowing and doing is still there. • Because it’s practical, not just policy, led by practitioners who have walked the walk. • Because the same issues keep repeating • Because it brings sectors together • Because it tackles the hard realities • Because outcomes matter Reducing restraint isn’t just compliance—it’s about human rights, safety, dignity, and better lives for the people you support or educate.
