Accelerate & amplify your impact in regional Australia

Social Impact
In The Regions

Our Vision

While social challenges are not unique to the regions, the solutions to these problems must be relevant to place. The conference will explore a range of tools, techniques, beliefs and practices to better enable you to create more impact in your regional community.

Our vision is that you will leave the conference with the tools, network and energy to amplify your impact in your regional community.

#SIITR24 White Paper

The Ready Communities White Paper ‘Social Impact in the Regions’ was published in July 2025.

The paper will cover a review of outputs and impacts from #SIITR24 and our Ready Communities Flagship program.
