The biennial K’gari conference will be held again this year at UniSC’s Fraser Coast campus on the 10-11 November. Voices of K’gari: Research, Respect and Responsibility 2025 Conference is, once again, a joint initiative of UniSC and FIDO.

The conference will be delivered with the support of the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) and the Butchulla Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (BNTAC). The conference will bring together stakeholders to discuss and share research on K’gari and the broader Great Sandy Region. The research will include Citizen Science, Cultural Knowledge, monitoring, and academic and student research.

The program will be collaborative, with an emphasis on knowledge sharing and learning by the participants. The aim is to work together to share current research, Butchulla knowledge and Citizen Science. The result should be a shared understanding of the management of K’gari and the needs, including research, in caring for Land and Sea Country going forward.

A program, links to the website and registration will be available soon. For further information please contact Kim Walker, kwalker4@usc.edu.au.
