International Credit Cards
If you are an international delegate and use a credit card for payment, we have the right to ask for a scanned copy of your credit card for proof of authenticity. If a card is not provided or the scan is not considered sufficient, the transaction will be reversed and you will be required to pay via an alternative method for your registration to be confirmed.
CONFIRMATION
Your record of registration, hotel bookings and payment will be sent to you via email automatically upon completion of your registration. Note: If you did not pay at the time of registration your registration is not confirmed.

LIABILITY/INSURANCE
Registration fees do not include insurance of any kind. It is strongly recommended that all delegates take out their own travel insurance and medical insurance prior to the conference. The policy should include loss of fees through cancellation of your participation in the Conference itself, loss of airfares for any reason, medical expenses and repatriation should travel arrangements have to be altered. In the event of industrial disruptions or natural disasters the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine cannot accept responsibility for any financial or other losses incurred by delegates.

Insurance is the responsibility of the individual delegate.
