The Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO) and ermha365 (Mental Health Disability Complex Services), are proud to be hosting the Complex Needs Conference 2025 (funded by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing)

We invite practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and individuals with lived experience to submit abstracts for the Complex Needs Conference 2025.

This conference seeks to bring together a diverse group of people to explore the challenges and solutions for supporting individuals with complex needs. By fostering a collaborative environment, we aim to share ideas, research, and personal experience. These aim to inspire, inform, and drive better practices in delivering coordinated care for people with diverse and complex needs.

Whether you are a practitioner, researcher, policy maker, and/or a person with lived experience, we are united by a shared goal. We aim to find practical solutions that improve the lives of people experiencing:

• Mental health challenges
• Harmful substance use
• Behaviour that can lead to risk to self and others
• Homelessness
• Trauma; and
• Disability.
