Assistance For Regional Delegates – Travel And Accommodation Subsidies

The cost of travel and accommodation may exclude some members from regional areas who would otherwise like to attend the next conference.

To assist regional delegates, History Qld will subsidise the attendance of up to four members of HQ member organisations at the 2025 Conference.

Each subsidy will be up to $1500.00, and the funds will be available for travel, mileage, and accommodation.

After the conference, such costs will be reimbursed for the production of receipts or other documentary evidence.

Preference will be given to applications from people living more than 200 kilometres from Brisbane when awarding subsidies.

Depending on the response from member societies, the management committee may decide to grant no subsidies, more than four subsidies, or subsidies in amounts other than $1500.00.
