2026 MDDA National Family Retreat
Sanctuary Cove, Queensland
13th - 15th November, 2026
Flights
The best way to get into Sanctuary Cove is by flying into either Brisbane or Gold Coast Airport. However, if you wish to extend your time in Sanctuary Cove pre or post event, or you find a flight path which is more suited to travel in and out of Sanctuary Cove from your home town, this is also an option you may wish to consider.
The flight times below are a guide to see which flights are best suited for getting to the retreat on time, that also align with the Airport Transfers MDDA are organising.
These are a flight guide only and may have changed at the time of you booking your airfares. Please also consider when booking flights any possible flight cancellations and the next available flight and also any delays with airport ground services. We strongly recommend packing a carry-on bag with a change of clothes and excess formula/medication for each family member just in case your checked in luggage is lost.
Both Brisbane and Gold Coast flights can accommodate starting and conclusion times for most cities, so flights should be selected to best suit your preferred travel time and cost. (Keeping in mind Gold Coast is a 15 minute shorter transfer time and will get you to and from the venue quicker).
