Visas for International Delegates
In addition to a valid passport, visas are required for entry into
Australia. It can take 6-8 weeks to get a visa, although faster
electronic visas are available for passport holders from most of
Europe, USA, Canada, and several countries in Asia. Please see
the Department
of
Immigration
and
Citizenship website for more information.
We are liaising with the International
Events
Coordinator
Network (IECN) within the Department of Immigration and
Citzenship to streamline visa applications for international
delegates. Following registration, a letter of confirmation of
registration will be supplied which can be forwarded to an overseas
Australian Visa Office with the visa application.
Air travel
Please see the Sydney
Airport website for information about the
airport and transport into the city. There is no nominated
airline for the conference.
Getting to the Q-Station Conference Centre by public transport
From the airport, take the City Circle train and get off at Circular
Quay. Take the Sydney ferry to Manly. These are the big boats
which depart frequently from Wharf 3 and provide a beautiful trip
across the harbour. Please see the Sydney
Ferry
website for
more information.
At the Manly Ferry terminal, a free shuttle will take delegates on
the 5 minute drive to the conference centre. This shuttle will
run repeatedly on Sunday afternoon until all delegates arrive.
Please see the Q-Station website
for details.
You can see the Q-Station on a map of Sydney at this link to Google maps.
Driving to the Q-Station Conference Centre
Please see the Q-Station
website for directions. Parking is free.
