TIPIAC X RCR First Nations Education conference

The TIPIAC x Riley Callie Resources National First Nations Education Conference was born from a shared vision between TIPIAC and Riley Callie Resources - two 100% First Nations-owned education businesses committed to transforming how we approach teaching and learning in Australia.

We recognised the need for a space where educators could connect authentically with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, not as an add-on to existing curricula, but as foundational wisdom that has guided learning for over 65,000 years.

This conference is more than an event - it's a movement toward educational practices that honor Country, celebrate community voices, and provide practical tools for creating inclusive, culturally responsive classrooms.

Sessions that strengthen educators’ knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories, perspectives and connections to Country.

Country and Place, local histories, truth-telling, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges, language, STEM, bush foods, storytelling, art, and cultural knowledge.

This is the really practical stream: “What can I actually do differently when I go back to my classroom?”

First Nations pedagogies, curriculum connections, early childhood practice, primary and secondary examples, embedding perspectives across subjects, resources, yarning, storytelling, STEM, and learning on Country.

This is for those of you who are  principals, directors, educational leaders, curriculum leaders and decision-makers.

Cultural safety, reconciliation and RAPs, community engagement, relationships with Elders, leadership, policy, whole-school approaches, staff capability, truth-telling, and creating sustainable organisational change.
