Shaping the Future of PLT in Australia

APLEC Conference 2023

Shaping the Future of PLT in Australia
25 May - 27 May 2023

The 2023 APLEC conference will be held at Bond University on the Gold Coast from Thursday 25 May to Saturday 27 May 2023.  The focus for the 2023 conference will be on the future of PLT in Australia, providing PLT teachers and providers the opportunity to share their views about what that future should look like, including how APLEC should shape the future of PLT in its review of the PLT Competency Standards. 

The Conference will commence with the Heads of Courses meeting on Thursday afternoon followed by a Conference Welcome event on Thursday evening. Friday will begin with a Keynote Presentation, which will be streamed for those people unable to attend in person.  On Friday afternoon, in-person focus groups will discuss the APLEC review and then reconvene to share ideas and visions for the future of PLT. On Saturday we will again gather in person for the presentation of academic and practitioner papers.
