Rates and Reward Programs

Accommodation held by the Symposium Managers has been secured at highly competitive rates for Symposium 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 Symposium Manager until 21st February 2011 . All hotel accommodation bookings must be accompanied by a minimum of one night's room rate in order to secure a reservation.

The Symposium Manager will accept accommodation deposits until 21st February 2011 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 Symposium Manager after 21st February 2011 but are subject to availability and a deposit will be required to secure the reservation.

For all bookings that have been paid in full, please note that if you do not arrive at the hotel on the specified date, the hotel will hold the room for each paid night and all monies will be retained by the hotel.

How to Book Accommodation

To book, complete either the Online Registration Form or the Registration Form attached to this brochure. The Symposium 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 Symposium Managers and not directly to the hotel. Please note that any changes should be made to the Symposium Managers by 5th March 2012. Cancellations must be made in writing.

Late Arrivals

Please indicate on your registration form or notify the Symposium Manager in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after 6.00pm. Failure to do so may mean that your room will be released.

Check-in and Check-out Times

Many international flights arrive into Australia in the early morning. For most hotels, check-in time is 3.00pm and check-out time is 11.00am. Should you wish to guarantee check-in before 2.00pm you will need to book and pay for the previous night. If you wish to guarantee a late checkout you will need to book for the next night. These additional nights can be booked at the time of making your reservation. If required please indicate on your registration form.

Hotel Check-in Procedures

As per standard hotel policies and procedures, delegates will be required to provide a credit card or full cash payment upon check in. This is to cover any incidental charges incurred during your stay and all remaining unpaid room nights, regardless if your booking was guaranteed by a deposit to secure your reservation.

The hotel will place a hold on your credit card, until point of check out, all unpaid accommodation nights reserved plus a daily amount for incidental charges. If you will be settling your accommodation account by cash you will be asked to pre pay for your accommodation in full plus a cash deposit for incidentals. Should you not utilise any incidentals during your stay the cash deposit, for incidentals only, will be refunded to you by the hotel upon check out.

Please note the daily incidental charge may vary across the listed hotels. Should you wish to confirm the amount that will be held against your card prior to check in, please contact the hotel directly.

Accommodation Cancellation Policy

The deposit is non-refundable at 21st February 2012 and will be forfeited if you do not arrive on the date for which you have booked. Cancellations must be made in writing.
