Visas
All international visitors require a visa to enter Australia. Please make sure that you have checked with your travel agent as to the specific requirements for your nationality to enter Australia.
For the conference, the correct visa is a Business (Short Stay) visa, even if for part of your stay in Australia some tourism activities are planned.
Please refer to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs website www.immi.gov.au/ for more details about electronic visas, health requirements or contact the Australian Consulate in your own country.
Overseas Travel/Medical Insurance
Travel and medical insurance is NOT provided by the Conference. It is recommended that participants individually purchase some form of overseas travel/medical insurance in their own country, prior to coming to Australia. For further information, please contact a travel agent or an insurance company in your country.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The Australian Government operates a Goods and Services tax of 10%. This is applicable to ALL goods and services purchased. The GST is an inclusive price and therefore is included in the advertised price of all goods and services.
Letters of Invitation
Should you require a letter of invitation in order to apply for a visa, please contact the Conference Secretary.
