June Snapshot

June 2025 snapshot from ACEVic

As we move further into the year, ACEVic continues to prioritise strong advocacy, sector engagement, and meaningful support for our members across all areas of our work.

We’ve remained active in representing our members’ interests—meeting with senior departmental leaders to raise concerns about funding pressures, and participating in inter-agency discussions to support a member organisation navigating significant operational change. These conversations are vital to ensuring the challenges and contributions of our sector remain visible to government decision-makers.

We’ve also formally engaged with the Minister’s office to advocate for ACEVic’s involvement in shaping the next Ministerial Statement beyond 2025. As we look ahead, our focus is on ensuring future policy recognises the role, impact, and potential of the ACE sector.

Work on our 2025 Conference is well advanced. We’ve built a program that is practical, relevant, and responsive to the needs of providers—and we look forward to sharing it with you. Full details are included below.

As always, if you’d like to discuss an issue, share your ideas, or explore opportunities to collaborate, we welcome your call or email.
