The 2013 SCCS-Australia conference was held between 21 - 31 January 2013 and the closing date for applications to attend was 14th September 2012.

We have places for a maximum of 100 delegates. A successful online application does not guarantee a place at the conference. If you are offered a place and want to come to the conference you need to take notice of the deadlines listed because we will offer your place to someone more interested in coming if you do not reply.

We will not send out reminder emails. It is up to you to note the dates and to keep checking your emails including your junk mail box.
