Accommodation - domestic/international

Accommodation should be modest, conveniently located, provide a safe and secure environment and be value for money.  

Bookings should be managed via the University travel provider through the online booking tool or travel consultants. The University has negotiated an extensive range of strategic accommodation deals across the Australia/Pacific region to provide travellers with a wide variety of accommodation offerings with flexible booking conditions.

The properties include regional motel style, hotels and serviced apartment operators, all of which provide 24x7 assistance to guests including emergency/security plans.  For these reasons, it is not recommended that travellers use of ‘off-grid’ accommodation operators such as AirBnb, Stayz.

Domestic accommodation:
Availability and rates will vary in each location based on demand, events and advance purchase booking time. A reasonable rate guidance aligned to strategically sourced rates and ATO guidelines for capital cities and regional locations are as follows:

*Parliament sitting weeks and/or other peak/surcharge events add +$150

International accommodation
Given fluctuations in currency exchange rates, major events and seasonal demand in global cities, it is recommended that at least 4-star accommodation is booked to meet the principles of the accommodation being modest, conveniently located, provide a safe and secure environment and be value for money.

Extended/Long Stay (10+ nights) accommodation

For accommodation requirements of 10+ consecutive nights, enquiry should be sent to the University travel provider who have access to an extensive range of appropriate self-contained accommodation including cabins, serviced apartments and fully equipped houses.  Often a more cost-effective rate can be sourced than transient nights by utilising the University’s commercial arrangements.

The University travel provider will provide options (where available) based on your requirements and will also organise payment of the accommodation costs.
