About VEMI
Situated at the foothills of picturesque Mount Macedon and only 40 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, there are very few venues that match the beautiful surrounds of the VEMI Conference Centre.
VEMI is surrounded by 6.8 hectares of manicured gardens, with accessible walking tracks and an abundance of flora and fauna to observe. The gardens are home to echidnas, kangaroos, koalas and an amazing array of birdlife, a perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.

- Victorian emergency services agencies class 1 and 2
