The APS follows State Government and venue requirements for each event that is run with an in-person element. You can find out more about the NSWGovernment's guidelines through their website.

This conference is being held in Sydney New South Whales and attendees will be required to follow the state government's health regulations at the time. The mask guidelines for the NSWare outlined on the NSW Government's website.

We know that sometimes COVID can knock you for a six and you will be unable to travel. Remember your registration entitles you to the online program where you can participate from home from Monday to Wednesday. If you can't make it on those days, most of this content will be made available up to three months post event. In addition, the in-person program has three streams running on Friday and Saturday with two of those streams being recorded and made available online post event again for up to 3 months providing you with a wealth of on-demand content to watch at times that work for you.

If you still would like to go ahead with your registration but can't make it in-person due to COVID, we are happy to refund a flat rate of $120 and $60 for students.  

Alternatively, we will offer a full refund to anyone who contracts COVID, can no longer attend and does not want to have access to any of the program.

We're glad you asked! We are implementing multiple safety measures for our in-person audience including:

• Contactless registration
• Hygience stations through-out the venue
• Physical distancing

We are also working with the venue on:

• Ventilation requirements to minimise Co2 
• Food safety requirements
• Contract tracing
• Venue hygiene

At this stage attendees will not be required to show proof of a negative PCR test before attending in-person.

If at any time you feel well, you are asked to contact the conference team and let us know. If your symptoms align with COVID, we will locate and help you get to the closest PCR testing facility and ask that you isolate in your accommodation at your own cost until a negative result is received.

While we are implementing and following as many safety and hygience best practices as possible, there remains a chance that anyone can test positive for COVID during the conference. You may have been a close contact before arriving with symptoms manifesting during the event. In this case we will always refer to the state government regulations and health directions.
