Additional Information
Registration Fees Cancellation Policy
Cancellations received in writing at the Conference Office by 8 January 2016 will receive a refund less a handling fee of $143 including GST. No refund will be given after this date; however, an alternative delegate name may be submitted. All cancellations and substitutions must be made in writing to the VALA2016 Conference Office.
Accommodation Cancellation Policy
Hotel policy often requires a cancellation fee of the first night’s accommodation forty five (45) days prior to arrival. Some hotels may strictly enforce this. For accommodation cancellation policies please refer to the individual hotel. Any amendments to original hotel bookings must be forwarded in writing to the VALA2016 Conference Office.
VALA Code of Conduct
VALA seeks to provide a respectful and safe environment in which diverse participants may learn from, challenge, network with and share the company of colleagues. We recognise a shared responsibility to create and sustain that environment and do not tolerate harassment in any form.
Privacy Statement
Australia introduced the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 in 2001. The Conference Managers comply with such legislation which is designed to protect the right of the individual to privacy of their information. Information collected in respect of proposed participation in any aspect of the Conference will only be used for the purposes of planning and conduct of the Conference and may also be provided to the organising body or to organisers of future events. It is also usual to produce a ‘Delegate List’ of attendees at the Conference and to include the individual’s details in such a list. Consent for publication of the individual’s information may be withheld when completing the registration form for the Conference. Individuals are also entitled to access the information.
Insurance
Delegates are strongly advised to secure appropriate travel and health insurance. Delegate registration fees do not provide any such insurance coverage. The Organising Committee and the Conference Office accept no responsibility for any loss in this regard.
