ABOUT SYDNEY

Well known as a place of breathtaking natural beauty, Sydney is also home to a rich base of mind-blowing local talent that is helping to shape our future. The city is energetic and engaging; a hive of innovation across a number of key industries, including financial and professional services, the digital economy, education and research, and medical sciences.

Wildlight; Destination NSW

It has been said that ‘when Sydney fires, the nation booms’. Responsible for a quarter of national economic activity, Sydney is Australia’s only true global city. It’s the capital of the State of New South Wales (NSW) - Australia’s largest and most diverse economy and one of only two Australian states to retain its AAA credit rating. NSW boasts 22 years of continuous growth, contributes about one third of the nation’s GDP, and is larger than many of the national economies in the Asia-Pacific region, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. Sydney is home to more multinational regional headquarters than any other city in Australia and is the nerve centre of the country’s commercial activity and banking and financial services sector.
Underpinned by an educated and inquisitive population, robust research institutions and knowledge hubs, and a pro-business environment, Sydney is a place that’s not afraid to ‘give it a go’ and pave a new path to success.
This rare blend of creativity, commerce and ingenuity makes Sydney a place of inspiration and revolutionary thinking and the ideal place to meet.

PRE-CONFERENCE COURSES VENUE: THE AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, NORTH SYDNEY CAMPUS

The North Sydney (MacKillop) and Strathfield (Mount Saint Mary) campuses together have more than 10.000 students including over 1.450 international students. Just a five-minute train ride over the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge from the Sydney city centre, the North Sydney Campus (MacKillop) is conveniently located in the North Sydney business precinct.

In 1982, this College became part of Catholic College of Education. It was at this stage that the name MacKillop was given to this campus to identify it as a discrete part of the College and to recognise the ongoing support of the Sisters of St Joseph.

At the end of 1990, the Catholic College of Education Sydney formally handed over responsibility for the College and its operations, which now rests with ACU.
