Destination

welcome to melbourne

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne for AARE 2023 Conference, the second largest city in Australia. Renowned as the cultural capital, the mix of heritage, urban architecture, parks and gardens create a warm and exciting destination for all.

Make the most of staying inner-city and watch Melbourne come to life with the live music, artworks and restaurants in the hidden laneways and the historical museums.

As the temperature starts to warm up in November, take your time to explore outer Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road that leads you to the Twelve Apostles and stunning Victorian beaches.

The summer line up of events isn’t one to miss, make sure you don’t miss out and visit the website, What’s On Melbourne to find what’s perfect for you.
