Welcome!

The Victorian Biodiversity Conference (VicBioCon) is an annual scientific conference focused on highlighting biodiversity-related research and management projects based in the state of Victoria, Australia. The conference is held over three days towards the beginning of each year and is organised by a dedicated team of post-graduate students and professionals from a number of Victorian universities and organisations. We are entirely not-for-profit, and each conference would not be possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors.

​

Our 8th annual conference was held at the Burwood Campus of Deakin University on 7-9 February 2024. In 2025, VicBioCon will be held at Monash University, Clayton campus from Tuesday 11th of February to Thursday 13th.
