Booking your travel to Perth
Perth Airport is an international, domestic and general aviation airport serving Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. It is the fourth busiest airport in Australia measured by passenger movements and falls within the boundaries of the City of Belmont, City of Kalamunda and the City of Swan.

On your arrival at Perth Airport

Please note that all food, plant and animal related material (such as feathers, skins or bone) must be declared on arrival and will be checked by officials. If in doubt, declare it. The process is usually very efficient, but failure to declare prohibited goods leads to severe penalties.

Childcare

TSANZSRS is an adult event and unfortunately, we are unable to offer childcare on site, due to lack of uptake in previous years. Children are not permitted in the exhibition space but are welcome in all public areas. Supervising adults will be permitted to collect food and drink from the exhibition space with their children. If children visit the conference centre their safety is the responsibility of their supervising adult and TSANZ accept no liability. TSANZSRS is a breastfeeding friendly event. 

If you would like to arrange childcare we have the following list of local childcare providers below you can contact:
