Early Bird registrations must be paid in full by no later than the close of Early Bird registration on Tuesday, 31st January 2023. All outstanding Early Bird registrations after this date will revert to the 'Standard' registration rate and a new invoice will be issued.
Day Delegate Registration
Day Delegate registration covers attendance by a delegate for a single day only and does not include attendance at any social events. If you would like to attend for more than one day, a full conference registration must be purchased. Additional social event tickets can be purchased by day delegates.

Payment Options
Registrations can be paid via credit card online at the time of registering. A Tax Invoice will be attached to your Registration Confirmation email. Your Tax Invoice also acts as your payment receipt and will show the amount paid for your registration.
We accept Visa Card, Mastercard and American Express. All credit card payments will incur the following fees:
Visa Card – 0.90%,
Mastercard - 0.87%
American Express - 1.73% + 20c transaction fee.
Cancellation Policy
In the case of a medical emergency which has caused a registered delegate to not attend the Conference, the Conference Organiser must be provided with a medical certificate or appropriate documentation before any refund will be considered. Where the Conference Organisers are advised of the situation after the Conference, and a refund is deemed to be appropriate, the delegate must still pay the administration fee, along with any catering charges and collateral expenses (workbook, satchel etc) incurred for all events at which they were scheduled to attend.
Accommodation cancellations received within 60 days of the arrival date will incur a fee equivalent to 100% of the cancelled accommodation. No refunds will be made for non-attendance and any unpaid accommodation fees will still be payable.
Government-imposed restrictions - Event Policy
This event will comply with government requirements for health and safety as applicable at the time. This may mean that the format of presentations may change, depending on the circumstances. GEMS Event Management Australia will provide earliest possible notice to all stakeholders should this be necessary.
This event is planned as an in-person event. If an in-person event is unable to proceed due to government-imposed health department restrictions, we will consider our options to either move to a virtual delivery platform or postpone to another time.
If due to government restrictions, the conference is held on the same dates but delivered in a virtual format, all registrations will be transferred to the virtual delivery platform. Cancellations after such time are still subject to our standard Terms and Conditions of Cancellation.
If the Conference has to be postponed due Government-imposed health department restrictions, delegates will be notified immediately, and their registration transferred to the new date. If the new date is unsuitable, your registration will be refunded in full.
If you are unable to travel to the Conference due to Government imposed travel restrictions, you will be offered a full refund of your registration cost. Accommodation refunds will be subject to the hotel cancellation policy, with refunds due to Government imposed travel restrictions at the Hotel’s discretion.
The event organisers are not liable for any delegate, exhibitor, or partner travel and/or accommodation arrangements made, with the exception of those booked through the event registration form. Personal insurance policies should be referred to in these circumstances.
