Special registration fees

The junior doctor or nurse fee applies to doctors who are not undertaking a specialist training program, period of specialist assessment or a fellowship. This fee is not open to international medical graduates who have an overseas specialist qualification in neurosurgery.

The medical student fee applies to students enrolled in a medical degree who are not yet qualified as a doctor (proof of student identification is required).

The non member fees for representatives of medical companies are only able to attend the Meeting in a non-sales capacity as they are attending as a delegate and not an exhibitor or sponsor. As such, registration is conditional on the delegate not wearing company branded clothing or a company name badge, not distributing promotional material, not showcasing products and services on laptops or other devices, not giving away promotional material, and not taking other delegates away from the Meeting floor during the Meeting. A breach of these conditions will result in the non-refundable cancellation of the registration and removal from the Meeting.

Delegates are encouraged to pay via credit card at the time of registration. Payment can be made by credit card or invoice/EFT transfer in Australian Dollars only. All early registration fees not paid in full by the due date will be converted to the standard registration fee, and all registration fees not paid in full prior to 24 hours before Meeting commencement will be cancelled.

If notification of cancellation is made in writing to our Events Team prior to 28 July 2023, a full refund will be given (less a $175 processing fee). After this date no refund will be given, however a substitute delegate may be accepted by giving notification of the change in writing to our Events Team. Refunds after 28 July 2023 may be issued in special circumstances at the discretion of the NSA.
