Accommodation & Travel

southbank_cityBrisbane is able to offer a range of accommodation covering different budgets. APPEA has block booked accommodation at a number of hotels and apartments across the city (mainly 4 and 5 star venues) and secured special rates at these locations.

To take advantage of the special accommodation rates negotiated for APPEA Conference delegates, simply book your accommodation at the time of registration.  

Please note delegates are respectfully asked NOT to book directly with the official conference hotels. Special conference rates are not applicable in this situation and the organisers are unable to accurately assess transport requirements from these particular hotels.
