AUC Subsidies

The AUC is offering each member University five (5) subsidised places to send staff and students to the Leopard Tech Talk in Sydney on the 22 & 23 February 2007. The subsidy consists of financial assistance in covering return economy airfares and accommodation in Sydney.

Subsidy Allocation

The local AUC Representative on each campus will assign the five subsidised positions. Please contact them for more details. Do not register for the Leopard Tech Talk or book flights or accomodation until you have been formally advised you have been awarded a subsidy.

• Western Australia (PER) $640.00
• South Australia (ADL) $470.00

Accommodation Subsidy

The AUC is offering to subsidise accommodation costs for all subsidised delegates (including Sydney Metro attendees) as follows:

Departure Point (Maximum Accommodation Claimable)

• Western Australia (PER), South Australia (ADL), Northern Territory (DAR) and Far North Queensland (TSV/ROK/CNS) $450.00
• All others $300.00

The above rates are based on $150 per night for those delegates that require two nights accommodation and three nights accommodation for WA, SA, NT and FNQ delegates who due to flight schedules would be unable to fly in the morning the conference starts. The subsidy only covers room and taxes, it does not cover any extras such as room service, internet access, in-room movies, mini-bar, etc. We encourage you to twin-share if you wish to keep your accommodation under the subsidy amount.
