Accommodation
aceo has arranged special rates at several hotels within walking distance to the Cairns Convention Centre.
To secure your accommodation, simply nominate your selected hotel, arrival/departure dates and room type when you register online. A credit card number will be required and will be passed on to the hotel to secure your booking and payment will be taken in full 30 days prior to arrival. Please note hotels may charge a surcharge on credit card payments.
Check in time is generally 3:00pm. If you require immediate access to your room prior to this time, it may be wise to pre-register for the evening before. If you are arriving after 6:00pm, please note this accordingly.
The hotels impose strict release dates of 30 days prior to arrival and therefore any bookings made after Friday 12 July 2024 will be subject to availability. Please note cancelled bookings or failure to arrive at the hotel on the designated date of arrival (no-show) will incur penalties.
Any changes to your booking must be made via email to aceo and not direct with the hotel.
All room rates noted are based on room only and are in Australian Dollars. Bookings must be made through aceo and not with the hotel direct to obtain these special National Nursing Forum rates.
