Visa Information

If you are travelling to Australia as an international attendee, you may be required to obtain an Australian visa for entry. Once you have registered and paid to attend the Symposium, you will receive a registration confirmation email and tax invoice. The Australian Government Department of Home Affairs have confirmed that this email and associated tax invoice is sufficient support documentation for your visa application. Please ensure that you carefully enter your email during the registration process as this email address will be used to send your confirmation to you.

You are urged to apply for a visa no later than six weeks prior to travel. Residents of many countries may now apply for a visa online while others will need to apply at an Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission.
