VISAS
Anyone who is not an Australian citizen requires a valid Visa/Electronic Travel Authority to enter and spend time in Australia. With the exception of New Zealand citizens travelling on New Zealand passports, all foreign nationals must obtain a Visa/ETA before travelling to Australia. (New Zealand citizens are issued with a Visa upon arrival). Visas are available from Australian Visa Offices such as Australian Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates. For the location of your nearest Australian Consultate, go to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s website at www.dfat.gov.au/missions. Visas are also available in ETA form from travel agents and airlines in certain countries. There are no visas or border checks required when moving between Australian states. www.immi.gov.au  Customs Requirements: www.customs.gov.au

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
For international visitors, a tax refund may be sought at the airport for goods beyond the value of A$300 which they take with them as hand luggage when leaving the country. A tax refund is not available for goods or services consumed in Australia – and therefore the GST component of conference registration fees, accommodation, tours, etc is not claimable.
