We want ACOTS 2027 to be accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and communities. To support broad participation, a limited number of scholarships are available.

Scholarships will cover conference registration and, in some cases, may also contribute towards travel and accommodation costs.

We encourage applications from students, early career professionals, lived experience advocates, peer workers, First Nations delegates, representatives from community organisations, and delegates from across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

If attending ACOTS 2027 would provide a valuable opportunity for your professional, research, community or lived experience development, but financial considerations may limit your ability to attend, we encourage you to apply.

Scholarship applications will be assessed by the ACOTS 2027 Committee based on financial need, the potential benefit of attending the conference, and our commitment to supporting a diverse and inclusive group of delegates.
