APPLICATIONS CLOSED.

The Society is thrilled to announce the return of its Chapter Travel Awards in 2023.  These awards are designed to provide modest financial support to eligible ARMS members wishing to attend the ARMS Sydney Conference from 6-8 September 2023. Conditions Apply.

This year’s conference is of particular importance as it marks the return of our traditional in-person event for our members across Australasia and internationally.

Each Chapter Committee will be allocated financial support for Chapter Travel Awards. These awards provide some financial assistance to offset costs relating to attending the conference (i.e., flights, accommodation, or conference registration). Each eligible applicant will be required to specify the level of support being requested (including a justification for support) and to demonstrate how any shortfalls are likely to be covered.

NOTE: It will be at the discretion of the Chapter Committee to determine the number and level of financial support given to eligible applicants. The maximum level of support for an eligible applicant shall be AUD$1,000 GST inclusive.

Assessment Process: 

All applications will be reviewed by an allocated Chapter Committee and a final recommendation will be endorsed
by the ARMS Board.

The ARMS Executive office will notify all applicants via email stating the outcome of their application.

There will be no appeals process, but feedback may be given to unsuccessful applicants, upon request.

Awardees will also be required to provide a one-page post conference report 6 weeks after the conference. This
information will be used for promotional purposes and the report is to be submitted to the ARMS Executive Office.
