Impact of Therapeutic Communities: Evidence, Practice and Outcomes. 2026 ATCA Symposium.

We are excited to announce that registrations are now open for the ATCA Symposium 2026 – Impact of Therapeutic Communities: Evidence, Practice and Outcomes on the 17 November 2026 from 8.30-2.30pm at WHOS Recreational Hall, Sydney. This year’s symposium provides an opportunity for ATCA members to come together to celebrate the impact of Therapeutic Communities, share contemporary practice, explore evidence, and strengthen our collective understanding of the TC approach.

The symposium program will include engaging topics and presentations and opportunities for connection and collaboration with other ATCA members. We are also excited to invite ATCA members to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to present a 10-minute Lightning Round presentation. Presentations should be relevant to Therapeutic Community practice and align with the symposium theme. For more information and to access the EOI form, click on the link https://form.jotform.com/252137517372860. To support equity and broad representation across the ATCA membership, depending on the number of submissions received, ATCA may select one presentation per member organisation.
