Payment
Payment can be made on invoice by direct credit (account details will be included on your invoice), or credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express). From the early bird close on 6 October, you will be required to pay by credit card during the online registration process. Credit card statements will show debit as Outshine Ltd and will incur a 2% booking fee. All prices are quoted in New Zealand dollars and include GST of 15%. Credit card payments are processed via a secure Windcave gateway, a Level 1 service provider compliant with PCI DSS version 2.0. Confirmation and a tax invoice will be sent via email upon receipt of your online registration.
If your organisation is paying your registration fee and has specific billing requirements, it is the delegates’ responsibility to provide these details during registration. Invoices that fail to meet the organisation's payment policy due to incorrect or incomplete information will not be reissued. The delegate would then be responsible for arranging payment directly and seeking reimbursement from their organisation.
Cancellation
All cancellations or registration changes must be made in writing to the Conference Managers at sheryl@outshine.co.nz. Cancellations made prior to 6 October will be refunded less NZ$100.00 to cover administration costs. No registration refunds for full cancellations will be made after this date. You may elect to reassign your registration, in which case please contact the Conference Managers with the replacement delegate contact details.
If for reasons beyond the control of the Organising Committee, the symposium is cancelled outright, the registration fees will be refunded less a NZ$100.00 administration fee.
Registration Category
It is expected that you accurately select the appropriate category during registration, including the appropriate ANZCA / NZSA membership status. During the standard registration review process, you may be contacted to request proof of chosen registration type. If requested, evidence must be provided within 7 days; failure to do so will result in an automatic update of your registration category, and you will be required to pay the difference in fees.
Attendance Certificates
Attendance certificates are only provided to individuals registered under delegate categories. Healthcare industry and exhibitor registrations do not qualify for certificates of attendance.
Photography / Video
The Perioperative Symposium is held in a public space. Therefore, we do not prohibit participants, sponsors, news organisations and other companies from photographing or video or audio-taping some symposium activities. Additionally, the organisers may arrange for photos to be taken during the symposium. ANZCA / NZSA reserves the right to use images taken at the symposium with your photograph and/or likeness in future marketing materials, including on the internet. The Conference Managers may also use images taken at the symposium with your photograph and/or likeness in future marketing materials, including on the internet, with the permission of ANZCA / NZSA. Symposium attendees who prefer their images are neither taken nor published in any format, have the ability to object by sending an email request to the Conference Managers at sheryl@outshine.co.nz.
Health & Safety
The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the symposium venue, are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy symposium environment for all attendees, and to providing the information needed to achieve this. The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the symposium venue, will take responsibility for providing health and safety procedures whilst on-site, however, all attendees need to be aware of their own responsibilities. Each attendee is encouraged to play a vital and responsible role in maintaining a safe and healthy symposium environment through:
- Listening to the health and safety briefing on-site and/or reading the health and safety procedure document provided on-site at the registration desk.
- Ensuring all accidents and incidents that occur on-site at the symposium are reported.
- Informing the Conference Managers, a member of the Organising Committee or a staff member at the venue immediately of any health and safety concerns.
- Respecting your own personal safety and that of other symposium delegates and employees.
- Stay home if you are unwell, advise the Conference Managers.
- Follow all venue and public health guidelines and regulations
Delegates
Personal information is collected on behalf of ANZCA / NZSA. A delegate list will be produced for the symposium including name, email address, organisation, state/region and country. It will be distributed to symposium attendees and sponsors and provided to ANZCA / NZSA and future organisers of ANZCA / NZSA meetings. This list will not be provided by the ANZCA / NZSA to any other third party. Should you wish your details NOT to be included on the delegate list please indicate during the registration process.
Insurance
The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, The New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists and the Conference Managers will not accept any liability for losses associated with the symposium. Delegates are advised to arrange their own comprehensive travel and medical insurance, including insurance for personal possessions and financial loss due to the cancellation or postponement of the symposium.
