Payment can be made at the time of registration by credit card (visa or mastercard). All online registrations are checked by the secretariat before any credit card authorisation is sought.

ASN Events support responsible use of on-line credit card transactions and reports suspected fraudulent activity to Federal police and the Immigration office.

For those who do not wish to pay by credit card, two alternatives are offered. Payment be made by cheque (by yourself or your organisation), or alternatively if you are a member of a group of registrants, as a single payment for the whole group. Group members must include the name of their Group Leader and their email address. Direct debit information is available from the ASN Office once you are registered.

International Delegates - Payment may be made by credit card (MasterCard or Visa) or by bank cheques in Australian dollars drawn on an Australian Bank.

Within 2 working days of your registration you will be sent a registration confirmation email by an ASN Events staff member. If you do not receive both of these please contact the ASN Events office.
