ICMS Travel, as the official housing bureau for the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA) 45th Annual Conference has been able to secure discounted accommodation rates at selected hotels. Reservations need to be made before Friday 30 October 2015. The room rates are per night and do not include breakfast. Accommodation will be allocated in order of receipt of bookings.

Arrival Time

Check-in time is usually from 14:00. Should you wish to guarantee your room is ready before the hotel check-in time, it is recommended that you book and pay for the room for the evening prior to your arrival. Failure to advise your arrival time may mean that your room will be released.

Accommodation Deposit

To secure your reservation a deposit equivalent to one night's room tariff is required at the time of your booking. Please ensure that valid credit card details are provided at the time of submitting your booking as these details are required to be passed onto the hotel as a guarantee. The hotel may not initially deduct a deposit payment from your credit card but may charge your full payment at the time of checkout. The hotel may charge a processing fee on payments by credit card. Bookings cannot be made until ICMS Travel receives your credit card details. Room rates are in Australian Dollars and include the Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Cancellation fees will apply for all cancellations received after Friday, 30 October 2015 or if the room is not occupied on the advised date of arrival.
