### Cost

Attendance at the conference is by donation, with a suggested donation of £100 (~$200AUD) for most attendees.

If you are a student or facing financial hardship, we suggest a donation of £30 (~$60AUD) though we encourage you not to donate if you don’t feel able.

Conference attendance includes lunch & morning/afternoon tea on Saturday & Sunday, and light refreshments on Friday night. All other food over the weekend will be attendees' responsibility and cost.

### Travel assistance

Funding will be available to support travel to the conference for those that would not be able to attend otherwise. The maximum support available will depend on your location, with more available for greater distances within Australia and New Zealand.  In some cases, we might not be able to pay for all of your travel expenses. If you do not end up receiving travel support, this is likely the result of limited funds rather than an evaluation of your potential for impact.
