We hope that by giving as much advance notice as possible, there will be adequate opportunity for people to start saving to attend this gathering, or else to form an approach to their employer for assistance. In addition, we are seeking event sponsorship and a small percentage of the conference fee from those who are able to pay the full amount will be put towards a scholarship fund - a limited number of bursaries will be made available to help allay the costs of attendance. Obviously, we will prioritise applications based on merit, not the order of their submission.Inevitably, there will only be limited funds available to assist but please rest assured that we will work hard to accommodate where we can and we will endeavour to keep the participation costs as low as possible once you have arrived in Australia. We kindly ask you to think hard and be responsible about submitting an application for assistance, doing so only if you really need it and have exhausted all other avenues of funding. Please check back regularly for details on available scholarships.
