International
delegates please note:
You will need a Visa to enter Australia:
All
international visitors to Australia (the sole exception being citizens of New
Zealand travelling on New Zealand passports) must obtain a visa in advance. You
are urged to apply for a visa not later than six weeks prior to travel.
Residents of many countries may now apply for a visa on line, others will need
to apply at an Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission. For
information on how and where to apply for a visitors visa to Australia, please click here to go to the Department of Immigration Website
You will need to register for the Congress and pay your
fees before you apply for a visa
As
part of your visa application, you may be asked to provide a "Letter of
Invitation" to the Congress - this will almost certainly be the case if
you have to apply for a visa at an Australian Embassy, Consulate or High
Commission. These letters will only be sent to registered delegates who have
paid their registration fees in full. Unfortunately we cannot under any
circumstances send these letters to persons who have not registered for the
Congress and paid their fees.
Registration fee refunds
If
you cancel your registration for any reason on or before 30 April 2010, you
will receive a refund of your full payment less an administration charge of
$250.00 (Australian Dollars). If you cancel your registration after 1 May
2010, you will not receive any refund but you may nominate a replacement delegate
up until 14 days prior to the Congress. All cancellations must be advised
to the Congress Office in writing (to megan@ccm.com.au).
Refunds will not be paid for cancellations notified after 1 May 2010 under
any circumstances, including failure to obtain a visa.
