Full payment MUST be made at the time of registration. Once registration is received a confirmation email and tax invoice/receipt will be issued. Any accounts must be paid in full 7 days from the invoice date or 10 business days before the conference start date, whichever comes first.

The organisers reserve the right, without notification, to cancel outstanding registrations any time after 7 days from the date of a tax invoice being sent. If payment is not received prior to the 2026 HASANZ Conference, attendance will be granted only after full payment is made via credit/debit card.
