Our Business 2025: Travel & Accommodation

Travel & accommodation offers

For registrations prior to mid-September 2025

As part of Our Business 2025, we’re offering travel subsidies and limited free accommodation for AACHWA members-only who register by the September deadline.

Our Business runs from Thursday 30 October to Sunday 2 November 2025 in Kariyarra Country, Port Hedland, and is presented in association with our member art centre Spinifex Hill Studio.

Important

Please note this offer is limited and you must register by the deadline to access it. Late registrations may mean members miss out on subsidies.

We cannot guarantee that accommodation will be available beyond the deadline.
