Assistance for selected speakers
AUSCERT is able to assist in covering the travel and accommodation costs for one speaker per successful tutorial. What we will cover:
- Return economy class airfares to Brisbane, QLD from your nearest Australian capital city. All presenters must arrive the day prior to the start of their tutorial and depart once the program concludes on Friday, 23rd May. Flights will be booked by our preferred Travel Provider, and restrictions to flexibility, travel class, airline choice, dates and changes apply.
- Accommodation in line with tutorial scheduling requirements *#
- One (1) complimentary registration^ to the two-day Conference (excludes other tutorial sessions).
- Entitlements are for one speaker per tutorial only. Should you need additional presenters for your tutorial, travel and accommodation will be at your own cost. AUSCERT is happy to provide complimentary registration^ to the two-day Conference (excludes other tutorial sessions) for tutorial co-presenters.
- Pre-scheduled Coach Transfers will be run on Monday 20, Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 May from Brisbane Airport to The Star Gold Coast. Return Coach Transfers will be run on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 May from The Star Gold Coast to Brisbane Airport. We encourage presenters to select flights to take advantage of these pre-scheduled transfers. All other ground transfers are at the presenter’s own expense.
* Accommodation will be booked for the night prior to your scheduled tutorial, with check out on Friday, 23 May 2025 (unless Saturday, 24 May departure flights are required). Any additional nights pre- or post is to be at the presenter’s own expense.
# Failure to check-in on the booked date for accommodation will be charged back to the presenter at their expense for a no-show.
^ Complimentary registration for the tutorial primary presenter (and any approved co-presenters) is non-transferable.
