Advice to overseas visitors: be aware of Australia's strict quarantine rules before you travel.

Getting to Perth in Western Australia

More than 180 international flights operate into Perth International Airport each week. The main airlines servicing the Perth Airport are:

As can be seen from the map below, there are also many northern hemisphere airlines with easy access to Australia, and a comprehensive network of domestic flights within this country.  SPWLA may negotiate to establish a preferred airline partnership.  Most major airlines offer discounts for conferences of this nature if they are given preference.

Once you have landed, it is a relatively short taxi ride on freeways to the city of Perth and its centre, where your hotel is likely to be.  Car rental, common taxis and buses are also available from the airport.  More information about airport transfer here.  At the conference centre itself, there is plenty of parking, right under the centre.

You can use this website to find your way from (just about) anywhere to anywhere in Australia.  Here is the way from the international airport to the Conference Venue.

Quarantine matters

If you come from overseas or from a different state of Australia, it is important that you be aware of Western Australia's very strict quarantine rules on entry to the country.  To help protect Australia's agricultural industries and unique environment, your luggage will be X-rayed or screened.  It is critically important that you declare on arrival any food, plant material or animal products that you may be bringing in.  Breaking the rules, even in good faith, could put you and others around you in real trouble, hence it is important that you be aware of what you may not bring into the country, and what you may bring but need to declare on arrival.  We refer you to the Australian Customs' information for arriving travellers.

Here is also more useful information for incoming travellers, some general information for travellers to Australia, and a quick guide to customs for travellers, and if travelling within Australia.
