MAC National Symposium May/June 2026
Grief Management with a CALD Focus
Join us for a powerful and inclusive national symposium exploring grief and bereavement through a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) lens. This event brings together practitioners, community voices, and lived experiences to reshape how we understand, support, and walk alongside grief across cultures.
Why attend?
Grief is universal, but how it is expressed, supported, and understood is deeply cultural. This symposium moves beyond theory to deliver a balanced, practice-focused experience grounded in:
- Cultural safety (not just competence)
- Trauma and grief informed care
- Equity of access and inclusion
- Respect for spiritual, religious, and community traditions
- Recognition that there is no single “right way” to grieve
What to expect?
- Workforce-Focused Learning; build confidence and capability
- Person Centred Perspectives
- Family & Community Voices
- CALD Grief Experiences
- Practical Tools & Takeaways
- Networking & Collaboration
Be part of shaping the future of grief care.
This is more than a symposium, it’s a call to action to create equitable, culturally safe, and compassionate grief support for all communities.
