Sponsorship Opportunities

*Sensitive content warning*

'1 in 10: Uniting for Change' is the Australian BPD Foundation’s national conference, and the flagship event of BPD Awareness Week 2025. We are uniting clinicians, people with lived experience, carers, and policymakers around one urgent goal: ending the devastating statistic that 1 in 10 people who die by suicide have symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.

The theme is a national call to action to build a shared understanding, break down silos, and unite our efforts around one simple truth: together, we must do better.

The event will be held in Melbourne, Victoria, and LIVE STREAMED to allow greater participation, both nationally and internationally.

A range of sponsorship opportunities are available. Please click on the relevant package for more information. 

All prices are listed in Australian dollars and are inclusive of GST. 

These packages are flexible and we welcome the opportunity to discuss your individual requirements.  Please email us at admin@bpdfoundation.org.au to explore further opportunities

Why Sponsor

  • The Annual National BPD Conference is the Australian BPD Foundation's flagship event and the highlight of BPD Awareness Week 2025. This specialist conference consistently attracts strong interest from across Australia.
  • As a national event, delegates include key decision makers, mental health professionals, educators, people with a diagnosis of BPD, and their carers and family members. All are united in a progressive conversation aimed at working together to reduce the concerning statistic of 1 in 10.
  • Delegates attend for professional development, collaboration, networking, exchange of ideas, as well as the opportunity to learn from both people whose lives have been impacted by BPD and mental health professionals with specialist expertise of the condition.

Benefits to Sponsors

  • Brand exposure to sector professionals and community members
  • Reach targeted audiences through promotional activities

Target Audience

  • The event is designed for clinicians, service providers and managers across mental health and allied health sectors who wish to contribute to reducing suicide among people living with BPD, and to deepen their understanding of self-harm and the impact of chronic suicidal distress.
