Accommodation Options

College accommodation in student study-bedrooms is available on campus at Emmanuel College. The Conference Secretariat has also secured hotel accommodation at special discounted rates for delegates at a range of hotels selected to offer quality accommodation with easy access by bus to The University of Queensland. To make your reservation, please indicate your choice and requirements on the application for registration. All bookings should be made through the Conference Secretariat. A deposit of one night’s accommodation is required to secure your reservation, payable by credit card or cheque and this should be included with your Registration Fees. The balance of your accommodation is payable direct to your hotel on check-out. A tax invoice will be issued by the hotel.

All hotels have a 2.00pm check in time and a 10.00am check out time. If you are arriving from overseas and would like early access to your room it may be necessary to book and pay for accommodation for the night before. It is important you state your arrival time at your hotel on the application for registration so that if your check-in is after 6.00pm, the hotel will not release your room.

Delegates requiring SHARE ACCOMMODATION should make their own share arrangements. Each should fill in the accommodation section of the form and should also include the name of the person with whom they are sharing, but only one person needs to make the appropriate payment/deposit

Travel to the University by Council Bus is Service 412. Alternatively you may like to walk to the nearest CityCat terminal and travel by CityCat ferry to the University.
All Bus and CityCat timetables are available at http://www.transinfo.qld.gov.au/
