WHERE ARE THE COURSES HELD?

Longford Academy courses are held at the historic Brickendon and Woolmers Estates, which tell some of Australia’s convict history and together form part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property. They are located on the outskirts of Longford in northern Tasmania, approximately 20 minutes from Launceston and similarly close to Launceston Airport.

WHAT DO THE COURSES COST?

Course fees are charged to cover program development and delivery costs, lunches and morning and afternoon teas. Travel and accommodation costs are not included. As a guide to future costs, the 2026 Summer School cost $3,000 and the Autumn course cost $1,700.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Course notes and materials are included, as well as morning and afternoon teas and lunches. Six dinners are provided at the Summer School and two at the Autumn Course.
