Registration

Please read all details below (and other pages for accommodation) before you begin your registration for the conference. Each person attending the conference needs to complete their own registration, with payment to the conference secretariat. This includes invited speakers, chairpersons and all other delegates. Please read the information on this site before completing your registration.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 restrictions, the ICSR 2021 will be run as a hybrid event. Although we would like for everyone to come together in Nelson Bay for the conference, we understand this may not be possible and therefore, there will be the option to join the conference virtually. 

Please note, if you are already registered and paid for the ICSR 2020, you should have received a separate email about your conference registration moving forward. If you have not received this email, please email Lauren at icsr@willorganise.com.au
