To foster inclusion of caregivers and families at the 2023 ANZSOC Conference, the ANZSOC Committee of Management has endorsed the establishment of a 2023 ANZSOC Conference Carers’ Bursary scheme to help offset additional carer costs that conference participants may incur. The Carers’ Bursary can be used to offset the costs of additional care at the conference or at home, or to defray the cost of travel to the conference for a person for whom care is provided, or for an additional
caregiver.
A maximum of $5,000 has been allocated to the Carer’s Bursary Scheme, to a maximum amount of $250 per applicant. Applications will be assessed in the order in which they are received and until such time as the Carer’s Registration Bursary funds have been fully allocated.
Applications must be received in writing by email to secretary@anzsoc.org by December 1, 2023. Reimbursement will be made directly from ANZSOC to the applicant’s nominated bank account, on presentation of receipts for eligible expenses.
To apply, we are asking applicants to provide a written statement that includes:
The Request: A statement specifying the amount requested, up to a maximum of $250 per applicant.
Statement of justification/support: A statement setting out the grounds for the requested support in terms of financial need or other circumstances, including whether a paper or papers will be presented, any financial hardship or social disadvantage experienced, and any other relevant grounds.
All applications will be assessed by a panel of three ANZSOC Committee members who will determine eligibility and decide on the amount of support to be provided (up to the maximum of $250 per applicant). The decision of the majority will be final.
We, the members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology (ANZSOC), acknowledge the traditional custodians of Australia and the sovereignty of the Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.
ANZSOC would like to acknowledge the ongoing Traditional Custodians of the lands for which our constituents conduct their teaching, learning, and research. We would like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and the lands, now called Australia, continue to belong to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Traditional custodians of the lands. ANZSOC would like to pay respects to the Elders who have passed on the legacy of knowledge and culture to the future generations and acknowledge that the future generations hold the hope, the stories and the continued knowledge for current and emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. May this knowledge through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing guide you with wisdom and courage.
ANZSOC also recognises iwi Māori and their unceded right to tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and their expression of mana motuhaka (self-determination). We acknowledge mātauranga Māori (Māori ways of being and knowing) informs both traditional and contemporary knowledge production and its ability to enhance our collective futures.
The Association acknowledges the consequences and harms that continue to be inflicted by the criminal justice systems of Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand on Indigenous peoples in the region and seeks through its activities to address these harms and to work to prevent them from continuing in the future.
