Section of Neuropsychiatry 2025 Conference

Delegate cancellation - change of mind

All requests for cancellation must be made in writing and sent to events@ranzcp.org. Cancellations received before Friday 24 October 2025 will incur a $75.00 administration fee. No refunds will be issued after this date. However, an alternative delegate name may be submitted. All cancellations and substitutions must be made in writing to events@ranzcp.org.

Refunds will be returned by the same payment method as the original receipt of funds.

Please note no refund or discount will be made if a function or event inclusive within the registration fee is not taken up, or if you subsequently cancel your participation in that function or event.

In the case of extenuating circumstances, a refund outside of these terms and conditions may be considered by, and at the discretion of, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) upon application.

Delegate cancellation - medical

The health and safety of conference attendees is our highest priority. The RANZCP is mindful of the health risks posed by COVID-19, and the importance of following official medical advice with respect to social distancing, practicing good hygiene and staying at home when unwell. The RANZCP requests that any delegate who is feeling unwell or has cold or flu-like symptoms, or who may have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, not attend the conference.

If, on medical grounds, you are unable to attend the conference, you must cancel your attendance in writing by email to events@ranzcp.org. A full refund will be provided; however, you may be asked to provide additional details.

Conference cancellation

The RANZCP may cancel or postpone the conference due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, terrorism, war, strikes or industrial action, fire, explosion, inevitable accident, breakdown of property, changes in law, or pandemics or global health crises. Due to the nature of the event, it may be reasonable to postpone the event to a later year and/or to change the location of the conference. 

In the event of postponement of the conference, if, when requested, you advise that you are willing to attend the rescheduled conference, the RANZCP will transfer the registration and guarantee the same conditions and equivalent registration entitlements (subject to reasonable modification and availability) at the rescheduled event. If, at a later date, you then choose not to attend the rescheduled conference, the RANZCP will not be required to refund any part of the conference registration fee.

 In the event of a full cancellation of the conference by the RANZCP, you will be entitled to a full refund of the amount of the conference registration fee received.

The maximum liability of the RANZCP under these Terms and Conditions is limited to a refund of the conference registration fee with no additional liability for travel costs, hotel costs, or any other associated costs.

Please refer to the hotel’s policy regarding cancellation, noted on their website

All participants at the conference will be required to comply with the Health and Safety Guidelines and protocols in place with the venue/s and the conference which will be aligned and compliant with all relevant Commonwealth and state government health advice at that time. By registering for this event, the RANZCP reserves the right to provide your contact details to authorities for the purposes of contact tracing and any other relevant government requirements. Details of any relevant protocols and requirements will be communicated to delegates who will be bound by these requirements.

Conference participants are strongly advised to secure appropriate travel and health insurance. The RANZCP and the conference Organising Committee accept no responsibility for any loss in this regard.

The RANZCP will only collect personal information from individuals when it is reasonably necessary for the activities of the RANZCP, and all such collection will be subject to the RANZCP Privacy Policy and any other notifications.
