About

Curtin University

Perth Campus, Perth, Western Australia

We acknowledge that the conference is being held on the traditional lands of the Noongar people.

The conference will be held in buildings 211 and 213 on the main campus of Curtin University.

The suburb of Bentley, located about six kilometres south-east of central Perth, is home to Curtin’s Perth campus. In close proximity to everything Perth has to offer, it boasts 116 hectares of bold architecture nestled amongst beautiful landscaped gardens. With thousands of students filling the campus grounds every day of the semester, there’s a real vibrancy to the place. Over the past decade, the campus has undergone some major changes, with a variety of stunning modern buildings now interspersed with the original 1960s architecture.
