• All registrations are managed online
  To reduce our costs, all registrations and subsequent communications are now managed online. To register for any event, you will need your own working email address and know how to receive and print email attachments in pdf format. An administration fee of $25 per registration applies if we are required to invoice a school separately. Depending on the event, Meanjin members may also need to know their ALEA registration number and the month in which the membership expires to receive reduced registration prices. How do I find this information? This is not required for QAMT and STAQ memberships when registering for PD. These memberships are checked separately.
• Join and Save
  Meanjin conducts some Professional Development (LPD and EYPD) events in association with the Queensland Association of Mathematics Teachers (QAMT) and the Science Teachers' Association of Queensland (STAQ). These PD events are now offered at a considerably cheaper rate for current individual or institutional members of ALEA, STAQ or QAMT. By joining one of these associations, you also enjoy all of the other benefits of membership. If your school is a current 'institutional' member of any of these associations, any number of staff can attend these PD events at the advertised reduced rate. 
• Cancellations - your responsibility
  You may cancel your registration by email to admin@meanjin.edu.au.  We book and pay for venues and catering in advance for our workshops. If you submit a registration, do not pay for it beforehand, do not cancel it at least 3 days prior to the event and fail to attend for any reason, we still expect you to pay the registration fee to cover our outlays on your behalf.
• Refunds
  Our refund policy allows for a full refund, less a $25 administration fee, up to fourteen days prior to an event. After that time, no refund is available, however, the registration is transferable to another person. Refunding double payments also attracts a $25 administration fee.
• Your Invoice
  Once you have submitted an online registration form,  if a fee is involved, we will send you an invoice as an email attachment.  If you are claiming the reduced member rate, we check that you have current membership prior to sending the invoice. Education students who are pre-service teachers at a University will be offered special price registration when possible but will need to supply a postal address and a current full time university student ID number.
• Not a member yet?
  We will accept your registration at the member rate if you are not a current financial member but have already applied to join or to renew membership. Should you/your school register as a 'pending' member for an event, and the membership not proceed for any reason, you agree to pay any differences in the registration fees between members and non-members.
• How to pay
  Our only two payment options are by (1) EFT or (2) Cheque/Money Order. We prefer payment by EFT. If you pay by EFT, you are required to email treasurer@meanjin.edu.au advising your name, invoice number, amount transferred and date of transfer. Cheques or Australia Post Money Orders should be made payable to Brisbane Meanjin Local Council and mailed to our postal address. All of the details needed are on the invoice.
• Your receipt
  On payment, the invoice becomes your receipt. Meanjin Local Council is not registered for and does not charge GST. Please do not take payments to PD events.
• What happens next?
  We will not normally acknowledge receipt of payment unless specially requested. We will, however, send a reminder email in the week prior to the event to the email address you supplied . Registrations will normally be accepted up to the last minute unless there is a limit on places which has been reached. This will be advertised on our website and online registrations will be closed.
• The latest information
  The latest updates and any changes for each professional development event are always available from our website www.meanjin.edu.au
• Privacy
  By registering and/or signing-in at a Meanjin event, you agree to receive email from Meanjin confirming your registration, giving reminders and flagging future Meanjin events. Your email address will remain private and confidential. You also agree that any photographs of you taken as a prize winner or presenter or as a general participant may appear in images on the Meanjin website and at most be identified by first name unless otherwise agreed.
• We are a volunteer organisation
  Brisbane Meanjin Local Council is a non-profit association. All activities are run by a group of volunteer teachers, school administrators & university academics. Any profit made is returned to the community in the form of substantially reduced costs for professional development for members, substantially reduced registration fees for school students to attend our annual writers' camp & our books for babies program.
• Feedback
  If you have any questions, requests, comments or criticisms of our online registration system, please contact us at admin@meanjin.edu.au. Constructive suggestions always welcome.
