The 9th National Allied Health Conference will be held at one of Canberra’s premier meeting venues, Hotel Realm. Located at the footsteps of Parliament House, the impressive function and conferencing facilities at Hotel Realm are outstanding, highly adaptable and world class. They are complemented by a proficient and courteous staff. With an array of accommodation options available onsite, Hotel Realm is the perfect venue for the 9th National Allied Health Conference.

We advise all delegates to leave plenty of time to arrive at the conference. In the past, some delegates have missed the Monday morning sessions due to unavoidable flight delays or similar issues. It is therefore recommended that plan to arrive on the Sunday evening to ensure you do not miss any of the conference program.

Host City

Canberra is one of the world's few planned cities, a city in a park, with golden autumn leaves and glorious spring blooms. The city’s national museums and attractions hold and share the treasures of our nation. Celebrate Australia’s proud sporting achievements, delve into our unique political history, and reflect on our young nation’s experience on the international stage. See our country and people through the eyes of our artists, and experience Australian character through sound and film, books and exhibitions.

Surrounded by native bushland, Canberra is perfect for getting back to nature. Hidden beneath the leafy surrounds is a thriving modern city with stylish restaurants, hip bars, boutique shopping, fun for the kids and a busy calendar of events and festivals. The surrounding region offers more than 30 wineries, historic townships, beautiful coastlines and the famous Snowy Mountains.
