MacWorld Scholarship Claims
Claims will be processed after the Conference from 10 January until 9 April 2009.
All scholarship recipients should be aware of the following conditions:
Claims will only be paid for MacWorld Scholarships recipients as listed on the AUC web site.
Claims should be made by the scholarship recipient if he or she has incurred the relevant expenses, and by the University if the University has met the expenses.
All claims are for reimbursement of documented costs in attending MacWorld Conference, Airfares and Accommodation (room and taxes only).
The AUC will reimburse claimants by way of cheque or EFT only, cash is not available.
All claims will be paid in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Copies of invoices for amounts paid in Australia should be on an official Tax Invoice quoting the amount of GST paid (if any) and an Australian Business Number (ABN).
Claims for expenses paid overseas must be substantiated by way of a receipt.
Expenses paid by credit card must be accompanied by a statement showing the amount paid in Australian Dollars (AUD).
The AUC prefers that wherever possible, travel and accommodation costs are charged to University credit cards or accounts as this confirms, for travel and workers compensation insurance purposes, that travel is being undertaken on University business. You should be aware that if you use a personal credit card or cash, particularly for airfares, complications could arise in the event of your having to make a claim for travel insurance or worker's compensation.
Claims in respect of scholarships of up to AUD$4500 plus connection cost reimbursement may be made by presenting the following documents.
A completed AUC Claim Form (see below)
Copy of MacWorld Conference Registration/Confirmation showing that you have registered for a MacWorld Conference Stream.
Copy of airline booking form or travel agent invoice for airfares to the USA.
Copy of domestic travel invoice or receipt required to nearest point of international departure (Sydney or Melbourne) for connection cost reimbursement.
Signed letter on University letterhead from the local AUC Representative stating that the staff member has been awarded the scholarship as a result of a fair and reasonable competitive selection process (only required for Allocated Scholarships)

Connection Cost Reimbursement
Maximum reimbursement over and above AUD$4500 claimable for delegate costs in connecting via SYD/MEL/BNE. These have been calculated to be:
Adelaide - $280
Albury - $100
Armidale - $390
Canberra - $180
Hobart/Launceston - $270
Perth - $600
Port Macquarie - $353
Rockhampton - $380
Townsville - $190
Those Universities within a 4 hour travel distance by bus, train or car from their nearest major airport are expected to use this option for which the AUC does not provide any subsidy. These amounts are based on published advance-purchase Qantas fares in conjunction with travel from Australia to San Francisco.
