IDA Conference 2024

The IDA Conference took place on 12-14 November 2024 at Yulara, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and Katiti Petermann Indigenous Protected Area – the largest gathering of Indigenous rangers in Australia with 423 delegates from 54 ranger groups making the journey to the red centre. The conference theme this year was “A decade of connection”, to celebrate 10 years of connecting, learning and working together as an alliance and network. A big focus of the conference was strengthening the alliance, yarning about matters of regional importance, sharing information and most importantly, connecting with each other. “It was such a powerful thing to come together, all working for the same values. Caring for Country, continuing with Culture and supporting Community." Boyd Elston, IDA Chair
