Conference Venue
The University of Western Australia
LAW Building, Room G06
Enter the law building from the entry facing the river. Then turn right and the room will be in front of the fountain. We will have volunteers and signs to help direct you.
Public Transport and Parking
For anyone driving to the conference, you can park in Car Park 3 in the yellow sections, next to the LAW Building, as shown on the map. It is FREE on the weekend. (For those slightly more familiar with the campus, this is also close to the Social Sciences, Arts and the Library buildings).
For those catching public transport, it takes roughly 16 minutes from the Hilton Hotel. We have screen grabbed a Google Map route to show you. However, it is best to plan your journey through the official Perth Transport Website – http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au
Accommodation for Delegates
We have secured a discounted rate for our delegates at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel in Perth. You must click on this specific link to get the discount. There are minimal spaces, so please book early.
The discount covers the dates of the conference – December 7 to December 11.
If you do not want to stay here or it books out, then we recommend staying in close proximity to this location and the Perth Convention Centre for easy access to UWA campus.
Welcome Drinks and Exhibition
We will be meeting for an exclusive viewing of the Heath Ledger Exhibition (http://museum.wa.gov.au/museums/offsite/heath-ledger-life-pictures) and sharing in some drinks on Friday December 8. We will send further details on this closer to the date directly to delegates.
