- Cancellations -
your responsibility
You may cancel your registration by email to admin@meanjin.edu.au.
We book and pay for venues, catering and materials well in advance of our workshops.
If you submit a
registration, do not pay for it beforehand, do not cancel it at least 14
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.
- Pre-service student
registrations
Students should note that payment is required within 7 days otherwise
your registration will be cancelled. This has unfortunately become
necessary due to the large number who register, do not pay and then do
not attend our events. You will be notified of the cancellation by
email. You will need to re-register and pay within 7 days if you still
wish to attend.
- 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.
- 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. If the email address you supply is not accurate or not working
for any reason, you will not receive a reply and you will not be
registered. If you receive no reply in four days, contact
admin"at"meanjin.edu.au using a working email address to follow up. An administration fee of $25 per registration applies if we are
required to invoice a school by post. Depending on the event, Meanjin
members may also need to know their ALEA registration number.
How do I find this information?
- Join and Save
Most PD events are offered at a
considerably cheaper rate for current individual, institutional or
student members of ALEA.
By joining, 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. Most events will now include a year's
basic ALEA membership for non-members when they register.
- Your Invoice
Once you have submitted an online registration, 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. Education
students who are pre-service teachers at a University will
be offered special price
registration when possible but need to register using their uni email
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.

online registration system, please contact us at
