Fees and other costs Expand

The parish pays a registration cost (called a parish fee) based on the number of lay delegates. The parish fee for the 2018 Convention of Synod is $580 (+GST if applicable) per delegate. This fee is payable even if a delegate does not attend the convention. This fee helps to meet the costs of planning and running the convention. These include but are not limited to: venue hire, equipment charges, and some travel expenses by pastor delegates and some non-parish delegates.

The parish fee does not cover the costs of the delegate’s travel, accommodation, meals and any other miscellaneous expenses. These costs are to be paid for by the parish.

Parishes have been invoiced for the parish fee, and were invited to apply for fee assistance of up to $1000, using the form below. (This offer is now closed.) Other costs for delegates and visitors have been advised, and registration is now open.
