Registration Conditions

Payments: Payment is required to confirm registration, and is due at the time your completed registration form is received. Delegates who still have outstanding registration fees at the time of the conference will be required to complete a 'Payment Guarantee Form' which will require credit card details. If payment has not been received 30 days after the event, the nominated credit card will be charged for any outstanding fees. Please note that this is a strict condition of registration.

Tax Invoice and Receipts: Please note that once paid, the Registration Form is recognised by the Australian Tax Office as a compliant Tax Invoice. Once payment has been received, a delegate confirmation letter will be posted or emailed to the address given (please indicate your preference for email or posted confirmation on the registration form).

Billing Address: Please include Billing Address details on the registration form if applicable. All payment related correspondence (i.e. invoices and receipts) will be sent to the Billing Address.

Refunds and Cancellations: All cancellations must be made in writing (via post, fax or email) to the Conference Managers. Registration fees will be refunded less a 25% cancellation fee prior to 5pm on Friday 12th March 2010. After this date we regret that no refunds will be made, however substitute delegates will be accepted. Please note that cancellation fees will apply whether or not payment is received at the time of registration. By submitting the registration form, you are agreeing to these conditions.

Shared Registrations: Please note one registration form with payment must be received per attending delegate. Shared registrations are not permitted due to legal and insurance reasons. Day registration rates are available should you be unable to attend the full conference.

Insurance: Delegate's registration, accommodation and social function ticket fees do not include insurance of any kind. The organisers recommend taking out an insurance policy of your own choice with your local insurance or travel agent.
