The Australian Wiccan Conference (AWC) has run annually since 1984 for witches, occultists and pagans of all paths. It is a significant not-for-profit event for those involved in Wicca and Paganism in Australia, fostering a sense of community, education, and spiritual exploration.

It provides a space to learn, connect, and deepen one's understanding of these traditions.

The conference is traditionally held on the weekend closest to the Spring Equinox, with workshops, classes, lectures, entertainment and socialising.

AWC events are held in different locations around the country each year, with different hosts and themes. The 2026 theme is "Weaving Magic Together", with the event trialing a new, one-day format.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
