Kick off the National Conference in Brisbane with exclusive pre-conference site visits to recently completed projects, led by the designers, planners and health professionals who worked on them. These morning tours start and finish close to the CBD, giving you time to head straight to the next event, Engage.

There are four concurrent site visits, so you'll need to select one. Tours include bus transfer to and from Brisbane CBD. Ticket sales open on Monday 17 August. Tickets are strictly allocated on a first come, first served basis and these tours sell out fast.
