There is a free shuttle bus around Wollongong. The Shuttle operates Monday to Friday from 7.00am to 10.00pm every 10 minutes during the AM and PM peak (7.00am to 9.00am & 3.00pm to 6.00pm) and every 20 minutes off-peak.

Wollongong CBD is a 30 minute walk from the University on well defined walking paths. Taxi and rental cars are also available.

The Welcome Function and Conference Dinner are to be held in the CBD, a 10 minute walk from most major hotels. Taxi transport would be a minimal charge if required. For people staying further out of town, but still in the local area, local staff would be willing to provide private transport.
