REGISTRATION FEES:

All prices quoted are in Australian dollars and inclusive of GST.
Note: Early bird fees must have been paid by early bird cut-off date (25 May 2012) or fees will go up to standard rate.

We advise all delegates to leave plenty of time to arrive in Canberra for the Conference. In the past, some delegates have missed the Wednesday morning sessions due to unavoidable flight delays or similar issues. It is therefore recommended that you plan to arrive on the Tuesday evening to ensure you do not miss any of the Conference program. The Welcome Reception and early registration will be available from 1800 for delegates to attend at the National Convention Centre, Canberra. See you there!
