NATSIEC Sponsorship for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander delegates

Applications are now being accepted!

The Australian Linguistic Society (ALS) is pleased to announce that the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Corporation (NATSIEC) will support Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander delegates to attend the 2026 Conference of the Australian Linguistic Society, which will take place at the University Club of Western Australia on 1-4 December 2026.

If you are selected as a sponsored delegate, the following costs of attending the conference will be covered:

• Conference registration fees (including the conference dinner)
• Travel, including flights and airport transfers
• Accommodation
• A daily allowance for meals not provided at the conference
• Membership of the Australian Linguistic Society

Preference will be given to applicants who would not otherwise have financial support to attend. This should include students, researchers, and staff whose learning institution or employer is not sponsoring their attendance, as well as people who are not currently affiliated with an institution.

You should not need to have submitted an abstract. If applications need to be prioritised, we will give preference to whether you have access to other funding, rather than whether you are presenting a paper at the conference.

The information you provide in this form will be used only for the purposes of assessing your sponsorship delegate application. You will be notified of the outcome by mid-October 2026.

APPLY NOW! Please fill in the form and submit it to conf@als.asn.au.

Application deadline updated

Applications close on Friday 9 October 2026 (AWST).
