Registration

Your completed registration and successful payment will be automatically acknowledged via email, with an attached tax invoice and receipt.

Each delegate will receive a name badge when they check in at the registration area. The badge will be your pass to obtain entry to all sessions and social functions. Your badge must be clearly visible at all times to obtain entry to all sessions and to social functions. The congress managers expect appropriate behaviour from delegates and reserve the right to revoke the name badge and privileges of anyone behaving in an inappropriate manner.

Payment of early bird registration fees are required by close of business on Monday 27 January to qualify for the rate. Admission to the Symposium will be refused if payment has not been received.

Credit/Debit Card

The preferred payment method is credit/debit card. Accepted credit/debit cards are Visa and MasterCard. AMEX is not accepted.  Please note all transactions will appear on your statement as ‘Australian Society of Anaesthetists’

Cancellations must be notified in writing to the Congress Managers at events@asa.org.au

Registration: All cancellations must be made in writing to the ASA secretariate at events@asa.org.au. Delegates who, after registering, find themselves unable to attend may receive a full refund up until 10 days prior to the event.

No refunds will be given for registration cancellations received within ten days of the Symposium; however, a substitute delegate may be nominated. Special circumstances are at the discretion of the ASURA Symposium Convenors.

Social Tickets: Regrettably, optional social function tickets will not be refunded if delegate participation is cancelled less than 72 hours prior to the event, as numbers attending are fixed at that point.

ACE is committed to a respectful and safe environment for all interactions inclusive of its conferences and meetings.

The Australasian Symposium On Ultrasound And Regional Anaesthesia (ASURA), is governed by all relevant ANZCA policies in relation to professional behaviour and conduct, including in relation to bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment.

The Australasian Symposium On Ultrasound And Regional Anaesthesia (ASURA), is dedicated to providing a harassment-free symposium experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. Sexual language and imagery or the use of personal photos without permission is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media.

Symposium participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the symposium without a refund at the discretion of the symposium organisers.

Respectful behaviour is expected at all times from all participants. Appropriate behaviour respects difference and diversity, respects privacy, and handles disagreement politely. Honesty and fair dealing is expected.

Obtaining consent to quote others, use presentations or take photographs is appropriate and shows the respect expected of participants of the Perioperative Medicine SIG meeting.

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to an events person or the meeting convenor.

Alternatively you can make a report via email here. All personal details will remain confidential, issues raised will be investigated and necessary action taken to prevent a recurrence.
