Travel from airport to hotel
Transfers between the airport and city centre are available by taxi and shuttle bus. Taxis are available outside the Airport International Terminal. The approximate fare is AUS$25 but they also accept major credit cards (visa, mastercard, etc.).
Visa Requirements
Participants requiring entry visas for Australia will need to obtain these prior to their departure. Due to changing circumstances, participants are requested to check with the Australian Embassy in their locality for details on entry visas and related requirements.
Insurance
Participants are advised to obtain insurance coverage either at their own, their organization’s or their government’s expense for sickness, accident (including the cost of medical attention), temporary or permanent disability, death and third-party risks, covering the entire duration of the Meeting, including travel time.
Weather
Victoria enjoys four distinct seasons. Autumn (March to May) is a superb time to visit Melbourne with the changing leaves and moderate temperatures.
