Accommodation Conditions

To secure a hotel / apartment accommodation booking, a deposit of one night’s tariff is required, which must accompany the registration form. Delegates must settle the balance of their account directly with the hotel upon check in / check out.

The rates per room per night are inclusive of GST. However, the GST will be on charged by the hotel / apartment, as we will forward this deposit to the hotel on your behalf.

Room rates do not include breakfast (unless otherwise stated).

Regardless of method of payment for the deposit, delegates must provide credit card details to accompany the registration form. This will be used for cancellation fees for no shows.

Refund / cancellation

The deposit for the first night is non refundable if the reservation is cancelled on or after Friday 2 March 2012. If cancelled prior to the 2 March 2012, a $25.00 cancellation fee is applicable.

Please Note: 15 – 0 days prior to your arrival date, all rooms cancelled will incur 100% cancellation fee of all rooms cancelled for each night cancelled. Any no shows will be charged at the full accommodation rate for the duration of the booking.

Change of booking: Prior to Friday 2 March 2012, charges to bookings must be forwarded in writing to the Conference Office.

Early Arrival

Check in is from 2pm. If you wish to check in earlier, additional charges will apply.
