NSW Aboriginal Archaeology Future Forum 2025

The NSW Aboriginal Archaeology Future Forum is a one-day forum on First Nations archaeology in NSW for Aboriginal community, archaeological consultants, heritage managers and researchers. The forum has a focus on community and country, with a key aim to bring community aspirations regarding archaeological research to the fore. It provides an opportunity to share knowledge; showcase current projects and achievements; and discuss aspirations for the future of archaeological conservation, research and heritage management. The event includes presentations from individuals and panel discussions on a range of areas important to community archaeology.

This year the Forum will be held at the University of Wollongong, on Dharawal Country. Doors will open at 9am for a 9.30am start, and the Forum will finish at about 4pm. Morning tea and lunch will be provided. If you have any questions, please email us at NSWArchaeologyForum@gmail.com We are looking forward to seeing you at the Forum!

The Forum is presented by the AACAI NSW/ACT Chapter and the Australian Museum, with the generous support of APA Group, Apex Archaeology, EMM Consulting, Heritage Now, Lantern Heritage, OzArk Environment and Heritage, Regal Heritage, Umwelt, and the University of Wollongong.
