SUMMARY

Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) network members from across Australia attended the sixth Social and Emotional Wellbeing Gathering (SEWBG-6) to discuss SEWB for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over three days, from March 2-5 2026. SEWBG-6 was held in Walyalup (Fremantle) on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, Western Australia. The theme for SEWBG-6 was Circles of Wisdom.

The Gatherings are a vital opportunity for us to come together as a community, share our stories and experiences, and explore ways to enhance the SEWB of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through connection, kindness, and caring.

The themes and findings from the presentations and workshops are summarised in this report.
