As part of the many opportunities available through membership, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) connect educators, researchers and practitioners from across Australia. Together, they share knowledge, explore emerging issues and advance Enabling Education through collaborative scholarship and practice.
Our Special Interest Groups bring together professionals across Australia who share a focus on specific areas of Enabling Education. Each SIG is practitioner-led and designed to foster collaboration, share best practice and drive practical outcomes for the sector. Members connect regularly to exchange ideas, explore emerging challenges and contribute to national conversations that shape policy and practice.
Members opt into a SIG aligned with their expertise or interest within Enabling Education. Members will be added to that SIGs TEAM site.
SIGs meet regularly (online) to exchange practice insights, identify emerging issues and share lived experience from across institutions.
SIGs work together on agreed priorities - developing resources, case studies, research contributions or sector submissions.
Key insights and outputs from the SIGs inform national advocacy, policy dialogue and broaden member capability.
