Rates and Reward Programs

Accommodation held by the Congress Managers has been secured at highly competitive rates for Congress delegates. In addition, delegates who are members of the listed reward programs can earn points by staying at the corresponding hotel. Members should provide their membership card to Reception when checking into the hotel.

Deposit

Rooms are being held by the Congress Managers on behalf of the delegates until 2 April 2007. All hotel accommodation bookings must be accompanied by a minimum one night's rate in order to secure a reservation. The Congress Managers will accept accommodation deposits up until 2 April 2007 and will settle the deposit with the hotel. Delegates must settle the balance of their account with the hotel concerned upon check out.

Late bookings can be made through the Congress Managers after 2 April 2007 but are subject to availability and credit card details are required to secure the reservation. One nights room rate will be deducted from the supplied card by the hotel, if the reservation is cancelled or the delegate fails to arrive on the specified date.

How To Book Accommodation

To book, complete either the online Registration Form or the Registration Form attached to the registration brochure. The Congress Managers will forward your contact details, reservation and deposit or credit card details to the hotel of your choice.

Change of Booking

Any change to a reservation must be notified to the Congress Managers and not directly to the hotel. Please note that any changes should be made to the Congress Managers by 16 April 2007. Cancellations must be made in writing.

Late Arrivals

Please indicate on your registration form or notify the Congress Managers in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800 hours, failure to do so may mean that your room will be released.

Arrival Time

Many international flights arrive into Australia in the early morning. Hotel check-in time is usually 1500 hours. If you are to arrive before this time it is probable that you will not be able to gain access to your room. To guarantee a room to be available for an early arrival you will need to pre-register and pay for your room for the previous night. If required, please indicate accordingly on your registration form.

Accommodation Refunds

The deposit is non-refundable at 2 April 2007 and will be forfeited if you do not arrive on the date for which you have booked. Cancellations must be made in writing.
