Visa Applications

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL DELEGATES

International delegates please note:  

You will need a Visa to enter Australia:

All international visitors to Australia (the sole exception being citizens of New Zealand travelling on New Zealand passports) must obtain a visa in advance. You are urged to apply for a visa not later than six weeks prior to travel.  Residents of many countries may now apply for a visa on line, others will need to apply at an Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission. For information on how and where to apply for a visitors visa to Australia, please click here to go to the Department of Immigration Website

You will need to register for the Congress and pay your fees before you apply for a visa

As part of your visa application, you may be asked to provide a "Letter of Invitation" to the Congress - this will almost certainly be the case if you have to apply for a visa at an Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission. These letters will only be sent to registered delegates who have paid their registration fees in full.  Unfortunately we cannot under any circumstances send these letters to persons who have not registered for the Congress and paid their fees.

Australia has very strict quarantine rules and failure to observe quarantine requirements is dealt with severely by Australian authorities. You may be subject to examination by quarantine officers on your arrival in Australia. Please ensure that you comply with all quarantine rules and directives. Information on quarantine will be provided to you (typically by flight attendants on your inward flight) before you enter Australia. We recommend that you visit the Australian Government Quarantine Inspection Service web site.
