The University of Melbourne's Professional Staff Conference is committed to being a sustainable event that minimises our carbon footprint and promotes environmentally friendly practices.

As part of 'walking the talk', the Professional Staff Conference follows the University's principles for ethical and sustainable consumption.

We actively strive to minimise our environmental impact and inspire positive change in alignment with our Sustainability Plan 2030, by embracing waste reduction, sustainable venue and catering options, paperless practices, promoting eco-friendly transportation options, carbon offsetting, and providing educational resources.
