University Apartments

The Apartments are a University of Tasmania residential college, constructed in 2004.  Situated on a hillside with lots of Australian trees, they have wonderful views of the campus and the River Derwent.  The Apartments are a five minute walk (down hill) to the conference venue and a ten minute walk (up hill) return.  A mini bus will run between the Apartments and the conference at the commencement of each day’s sessions, and returning you to your accommodation at the end of the day.

Each apartment consists of six single bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge/dining room and a fully equipped kitchen with cooking facilities.  A limited number of single bedrooms have been reserved for our conference over the period 1 – 7 December inclusive.

Delegates can specify on their registration form whom they would like to share the apartment with, or leave it up to the conference organizers to allocate rooms.
