Welcome to CountryPlace, an award-winning conference venue 50 minutes east of Melbourne.

We’ve held over 3000 conferences at our venue and have a wealth of knowledge to share.

We have come to understand that this is a pressured job. And there are many situations where a PA/EA could do with a little help.

For around 30 years, CountryPlace Conference Centre, in Melbourne’s stunning Dandenong Ranges, has been working closely with PA/EA’s to run successful business events. This experience has enabled us to provide a useful handbook of ideas, great articles and tips on how to effectively manage your time, plan your day, look after yourself and organise meetings.

That’s why we have produced a FREE e-book to help.

Our Helpful Handbook for PA/EA’s has lots more on workplace wellbeing including lifting your performance, motivation and more.

The handbook also offers some great advice on many aspects – here’s some of the topics:

• Tips on diary management
• Time management considerations
• Wellbeing in the workplace (including yours)
• Personal styling and presentation
• Five useful productivity tools
• Tips for minute taking
• Dealing with difficult colleagues
• Handling dietary complexities
• PA networking
• Useful seating arrangements for meetings
• 6 scientifically backed ways to de-stress the conference planner.
