The 10 best places in Australia to host your corporate events

City, country, water, desert or forest, Australia is full of places that will change your perspective and inspire your employees’ creativity… And maybe that is because this island is on the opposite side of the world from Europe.

In this article, we have listed the most interesting cities and places for your group events, whether you are with colleagues, partners, suppliers or customers. Follow the guide and travel to the heart of this Australian land!

4 must-see Australian cities

Sydney is the perfect location to begin our Australian adventure. The country’s largest metropolis and economic hub, it is also one of the most famous cities in the world. This could be explained by the impressive architecture of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. But it doesn’t stop there; this year, Sydney will host the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup! The city is at the forefront of sporting and tourism culture.

If you’re taking your guests there for a few days for a corporate event, make sure you allow time for them to relax and enjoy the local culture and activities:

• Team building on a coastal walk
• Surfing lessons on Bondi Beach
• Seafood tasting in the harbour
• Cruise through the bowels of the city
• Visit Taronga Zoo or Watsons Bay
• Explore the city after dark to see illuminated landmarks such as the majestical Sydney Opera House

With so much to see and do in Sydney, you won’t disappoint your guests!

Australia’s second largest city; Melbourne. As the country’s cultural capital, Melbourne is sure to satisfy the history buffs in your group. Whether it’s in the city centre or away from the hustle and bustle. The city is built around the Yarra River and offers many free attractions as an integral part of the city:

• Federation Square and its quirky design
• The colourful laneways with street art, wine bars and outdoor cafes
• The Southbank area for an evening of entertainment and local cuisine with your team
• A guided tour of the city, including Queen Victoria Market, Eureka Tower and the City Tram Tour
• The Royal Botanic Gardens for a nature break to recharge your delegates’ batteries.

A third city and a change of scenery. We leave the hustle and bustle of the big cities for a visit to the remote northern coast. Discover Darwin and its lagoons, waterfalls… But also, its reptile (and crocodile) park. Thrills and adrenaline guaranteed for your guests!

If you’re organising your group event nearby, these are three places you won’t want to miss:

• George Brown Darmin Botanic Gardens: With more than 42 hectares of tropical and native North Australian species.
• Lichtfield National Park: This 1,500km² park has been shaped by water over the years and is home to numerous cascades and waterfalls. The waterfalls cascade into pools of warm, crystal-clear water, much to the delight of swimmers.
• Berry Springs Nature Park: This park isn’t just for hiking; you can swim, visit historic ruins, and take a guided tour with a park ranger.

Finally, our fourth city is Brisbane, a city with the Brisbane River running through it, creating beaches right in its centre. These beaches are very popular with the locals, and this could be an excellent activity to do with your students to cool off or just enjoy the evening after your workshops have finished. You can also explore the local culture by visiting the Museum of Brisbane, as well as some of the more unusual places that will delight everyone:

• Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can meet one of the country’s most iconic animals!
• Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, to discover the region’s flora and fauna.
• South Bank Parklands, the most unique parks you’ll ever see! Situated in the south of the city, they are crossed by the river and feature beaches, palm trees, tropical rainforest, and lawns, giving them a spa-like feel and direct views of the city. From this side of the river, passers-by can admire the Great Arbour, the Brisbane Wheel, the Nepalese Peace Pagoda, Streets Beach, and the Courier Mail Piazza, making for an unforgettable view.
