Welcome to FCVic Conference 2026

The FCVic team is delighted to welcome you to Victoria's premier Financial Counselling Conference, taking place on 7, 8 & 9 October 2026 at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park.

This year's theme, In Pursuit, recognises that our work is never truly finished. We are constantly pursuing better outcomes for our clients, stronger sector connections, new ideas, innovative approaches, and opportunities to learn from one another. The 2026 Conference has been designed to inspire, challenge and connect delegates through a dynamic program of presentations, discussions, networking opportunities and interactive sessions.

Please note: Wednesday 7 October is exclusive to Financial Counsellors, FCW and NZ Financial Mentors and focuses on professional development and sector-specific learning.
