FAQs

Our registration proces involves two-steps. The first step is to purchase a registration via this website. Once you have paid for your registration, you will receive an email from Australian Homelessness Conference <info@event-email.io> with a link and code and you will be asked to add all your details. For group bookings, you can purchase the required number of registrations and then provide the link to each individual in your group to complete their own details. If paying by invoice, the link won't be sent to you until payment is received.
