Unless you are an Australian citizen, you will need a valid Australian visa to enter the country. New Zealand passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival. All other passport holders, regardless of age, must apply for a visa before leaving their country.

Where can I exchange currency?

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be able to exchange your local currency for Australian dollar; Travelex, ANZ and Global Exchange are all the foreign currency exchangers located at Sydney airport. There are 18 outlets in total across Terminals 1 and 2.

Foreign currency can also be exchanged at any bank branch. Near ICC Sydney, foreign exchange services are available at Harbourside Shopping Centre.

How will the weather be in the Sydney during the conference?

Located in the Southern Hemisphere where seasons are reversed, July is the middle of Winter (June – August) in Australia. Still, this is Sydney, so the temperatures never plunge to the kind of depths experienced in other countries across the world during wintertime. It is best to pack some sweaters and jackets.
