Accommodation

Cairns has a superb range of accommodation to suit all budgets, tastes and delegates’ needs. Most of Cairns CBD hotels are within walking distance of Cairns Convention Centre, meaning delegates can navigate their way to and from the venue with ease. If walking is not your preferred mode of transport, taxis and ride share services are available in Cairns. Some hotels also offer transfer shuttles to and from Cairns Airport.

The ARSC 2023 Team has secured a range of accommodation rooms over a variety of properties in Cairns. See below for further information on each of these properties.

Accommodation Rates

The Conference Secretariat has endeavoured to secure competitive and economical room rates at the above hotels. Please note that due to the terms and conditions of group accommodation blocks, these rates may differ to the rates available when booking a hotel direct. ARSC 2023 falls during the Queensland School Holidays, therefore accommodation rates and availability may fluctuate over this period. We suggest ARSC 2023 delegates book in advance.

Deposits

Accommodation will not be confirmed until payment of the first night is received by Credit Card or full pre-payment is received by Cheque or Electronic Funds Transfer. Your payment will be forwarded to your hotel and credited to your room account. Delegates must settle the balance of their account with the hotel concerned upon check in/out depending on the hotel’s policy. If accommodation deposits are not received before 9 August 2023 your room will be cancelled and released back to the hotel. The ARSC 2023 Accommodation Secretariat does not take responsibility for accommodation if payment is not received by this date.

Cancellations

NO ACCOMMODATION PAYMENTS WILL BE REFUNDED ON OR AFTER 9 August 2023.

Participants who confirm an accommodation booking with a credit card or full pre-payment and who wish to cancel on or after 9 August 2023 are liable for the the full cost of their cancelled accommodation.  To cancel your reservation, please contact The Accommodation Secretariat at tygerfh@icmsaust.com.au. Name changes to a reservation can be made at no charge.

State Border Closure

Should Australian Federal &/or State Governments make a decision relating to COVID-19 gatherings, closure of borders and travel restrictions, a full refund of all deposits and payments is available, if the cancellation is made up to five days prior to arrival. If the cancellation occurs within five days to arrival, the monies held will be used for future bookings.

Change of Booking

Any change in booking must be made in writing to The Accommodation Secretariat and NOT directly to the hotel before 9 August 2023. Any changes received after 9 August 2023 will be at the hotel’s discretion and based on availability.

Early Arrival

As check in at most hotels is not until 1400, it is possible that your room may not be ready for immediate occupation on your early arrival. Whilst hotels will do everything possible to accommodate early arrivals, if you wish to be guaranteed immediate occupation you can pay an extra day’s tariff for the night before you are due to arrive. If you wish to take this precaution, please advise the Accommodation Secretariat on the registration form so we can notify the hotel that your room is required early.

No Show Policy

In the event of a “No Show” on the date of arrival, full cancellation penalties apply to all nights of the stay.
