By registering for this event you consent to GCPHN using your personal information in line with our Privacy Policy.
If you are unable to attend for any reason please let us know immediately by emailing rsvp@gcphn.com.au to CANCEL your registration as we may have time to offer your place to someone else.
Late cancellation and no show policy: To help us manage demand, please cancel your registration at least 48 hours before the event if you can no longer attend. If you do not attend, or cancel within 48 hours of the event, Gold Coast Primary Health Network will charge $80 + GST to help cover venue and catering costs.
If you cannot attend, you can submit a request to transfer your registration to a colleague or substitute attendee by notifying rsvp@gcphn.com.au in advance. Transfers are subject to approval and event capacity.
Please complete the registration form below the map.
CANCELLATIONS: Online registrations will be confirmed immediately in our booking system. This is our preferred method of RSVP. To cancel your RSVP please use the email link or call the GCPHN events team (PH. 07 5635 2455). In recent months a number of registrants to our events have failed to attend and have not provided cancellation advice. This often results in others, often on wait lists, being unable to attend. In addition, GCPHN resources are wasted as costs for catering and support staff are still incurred. Each event therefore incurs a cost per person ranging from $65 – $120. GCPHN wishes to continue to provide training and education at no cost to primary care providers, however for these reasons we may have to consider implementing fees to offset our costs in the future. Please ensure you provide at least 2 days’ notice if you need to cancel your registration
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION: GCPHN collects personal information for the purpose of assisting its activities and functions in the primary health care sector. Your contact details may be used to forward information and notifications from GCPHN. In some circumstances we may provide your information to our funding agency (Dept of Health) or to service providers that enter into legal contracts with us which are bound by confidentiality.
