- 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.
