The RANZCP may cancel or postpone the Congress due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, terrorism, war, strikes or industrial action, fire, explosion, inevitable accident, breakdown of property, changes in law, or pandemics or global health crises.  Due to the nature of the event, it may be reasonable to postpone the event to a later year and/or to change the location of the Congress. 

In the event the Congress is not able to proceed as planned, and is moved to a virtual format, your registration will be transferred to a virtual registration. If you choose not to attend the virtual Congress, the RANZCP will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee.

In the event of postponement of the Congress, if, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled Congress, the RANZCP will transfer the registration and guarantee the same conditions and equivalent registration entitlements (subject to reasonable modification and availability) at the rescheduled event.  If, at a later date, you then choose not to attend the rescheduled Congress, the RANZCP will not be required to refund any part of the Congress registration fee. 

In the event of a full cancellation of the Congress by the RANZCP, you will be entitled to a full refund of the amount of the Congress registration fee received.

The maximum liability of the RANZCP under these Terms and Conditions is limited to a refund of the Congress registration fee with no additional liability for travel costs, hotel costs, or any other associated costs. 

For accommodation cancellation policies, please refer to the individual hotel policies noted on the website. Any amendments to original hotel bookings must be forwarded via email to the Congress Office. Verbal changes or cancellations cannot be accepted nor will the hotels accept any changes advised to them directly.

All participants at the Congress will be required to comply with any Health and Safety Guidelines and protocols in place with the venues and the Congress which will be aligned and compliant with all relevant Commonwealth and state government health advice. By registering for this event, the RANZCP reserves the right to provide your contact details to authorities for the purposes of contact tracing and any other relevant government requirements. Details of any relevant protocols and requirements will be communicated to delegates who will be bound by these requirements.
