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 Queensland Government's guidelines through their website.
This conference is being held on the Gold Coast, Queensland and attendees will be required to follow the state government's health regulations at the time. The mask guidelines for the Gold Coast are outlined on the Queensland Government's website.
We've got you covered, if you feel relatively well and would still like to attend, we'd love to welcome you virtually. We can transfer your registration and refund the difference.
We know that sometimes COVID can knock you for a six and in these cases, you can choose to transfer to a virtual registration, receive the difference via a refund and then take 3 months to watch all the recorded sessions on demand at times that suit you.
Alternatively, we will offer a full refund to anyone who contracts COVID and can no longer attend.

We're liaising with key stakeholders on a regular basis to monitor the border situation. While there is never a guarantee, we remain optimistic that borders will remain open. However, in the event that Queensland closes its borders and you're unable to attend in-person, we would love to have you transfer to a virtual registration. Should this not be suitable, we will offer a full refund.

At this stage attendees will not be required to show proof of a negative PCR test before attending in-person.
The APS is currently investigating if attendees will be asked to perform a rapid antigen test (R.A.T) on arrival to the venue before moving into the conference space. We will update you shortly on the final decision.
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 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.
Before registering for the conference, we ask that every attendee read the terms and conditions. These contain the full details you need to know about attending this event in person. As it relates to this question, should you travel to attend this event, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk and are responsible for ensuring you adhere to all State, Federal and Local government requirements, health orders and restrictions. You acknowledge that by travelling at your own risk the APS will not be held liable for any additional costs or losses incurred due to changes in travel restrictions. This includes but is not limited to expenses and losses such as mandatory hotel quarantine, loss of business or business opportunity and extended accommodation requirements due to border closures. Any such costs and/or losses incurred or suffered by the attendee are the responsibility of the individual attendee.
