Insurance 

Registration fees do not include insurance of any kind. Participants carry their own risk for personal injury or loss of property, including baggage, during the Conference. We strongly recommend that, at the time of booking your travel and tours, you take out a travel insurance policy. This policy should take into account loss of deposit through cancellation, medical insurance, loss or damage to personal property, and financial loss incurred through disruption to accommodation or travel arrangements due to business failures, strikes, or other industrial action. KCA or the KCA Professional Conference Organisers, The Association Specialists, cannot take any responsibility for any participant failing to arrange their own insurance. Insurance must be purchased in your country of origin.

Disclaimer 

KCA including the Professional Conference Organisers will not accept liability for damages of any nature sustained by participants or loss or damage to their personal property as a result of the conference or related events. Neither KCA nor the KCA Professional Conference Organisers, The Association Specialists, are responsible for any loss or damage as a result of alteration to the program, cancellations or postponement of the Conference or Workshop due to unforeseen occurrence or any other event that results in staging of the conference being impractical or impossible. Delegates are encouraged to take out their own insurance as necessary to cover potential losses.

Privacy Act 

Australia introduced the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 in 2001. The Professional Conference Organisers comply with such legislation which is designed to protect the right of the individual to privacy of their information. Information collected in respect of proposed participation in any aspect of the Conference or Workshop will be only used for the purposes of planning future events and may also be provided to the organising body or to organisers of future events. It is also usual to produce a ‘Delegate List’ of attendees at the Conference or Workshop and to include the individual’s details in such a list. The Privacy Act 2001 provides that, before your name, email address, organisation and state/country and any further details can be published in the list of the conference delegates for distribution to fellow delegates or any other party, you must give your consent. If you DO NOT wish to have your name and details included in the Delegate List please indicate this on the registration form.
