The added charm of Western Australia's accommodation is no matter where you choose to stay, the people are friendly, helpful and keen to make your visit a memorable one!

APPEA had 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.

Delegates had the option to take advantage of the special accommodation rates negotiated for APPEA Conference delegates when they booked their accommodation at the time of registration.

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