Overview

The biennial NTCOSS conference is a key event for the Human Services Sector in the Northern Territory. The 2019 NTCOSS conference will consider new and emerging challenges for addressing poverty, profile innovative and effective approaches to improve wellbeing and revisit some of the persistent questions that make poverty an entrenched and complex issue.

Bringing together leaders and innovators, practitioners, policy-makers and researchers from the community, social services, justice sectors and government alike, this conference promises to cast fresh perspectives and provide critical reflection on how we can actively and effectively build paths out of poverty.
