Visas

All overseas delegates must ensure that they have a valid passport and the correct visa for entry into Australia. Delegates should ensure that all documentation is in order prior to leaving their countries. Australia's Electronic Travel Authority system (ETA) is a streamlined travel authorisation system. The Conference Secretariat will provide a letter of invitation to assist participants raise travel funds or to obtain a visa, but it is not a commitment on the part of the conference organisers to provide financial assistance.
