Registration on the first day
The DeltaMed registration desk will be located in the foyer of the building and will be open from

The introduction to the course will start in the David P Derham Theatre at 8.55am and the first session

to collect your course notes.
During the week leading into the course, you should receive an entry-ticket email containing your
unique QR Code. Please bring this with you to the course (it may be stored electronically on your
smart phone or printed out). This QR code will be scanned on your entry to the course. Once scanned
in, you will be provided with that day’s course notes. Please have your QR code ready to show our
registration staff for scanning each morning. If you forget this entry-ticket email, you can sign-in by
showing some ID (please allow more time).
Parking
Car parking in-and-around the venue can be very difficult at the moment due to construction work.
On-street parking is available in the surrounding area, but most of it is metered and of short-term
duration. On-street parking is free after 12.30 pm on Saturday.
Public Car Parks
• The closest public car park to the venue is The University Square Car Park. There are two
entrances: one is via Berkeley Street, which is entered from the Pelham Street; the other entrance is
via Bouverie Street, near the corner with Grattan Street. The car park entrances are marked by ‘P’
icons on Map 2 (below) and costs $20 per day. Due to construction work, you may be directed
around the block or half the road may be closed but the car park is usually always accessible.
Note: this car park has number-plate recognition technology. You can still take a ticket at the
boom-gate and pay at a pay-machine before getting back into your car at the end of the day; or,
if you press the ‘Casual Parking’ button at the boom-gate on the way in, it will activate the
number-plate recognition camera. You will not be issued a ticket. You just need to drive up to
the boom-gate on your way out and stop at the metre-box. Your number-plate will be
recognised and then all you need do is press your credit card to the panel on the metre-box.
• There is a Public Car Park on the corner of Grattan & Cardigan Streets (entrance on Cardigan
Street) costs $13 per day.
• The Eastern Precinct Underground Car Park is located at 375 Cardigan Street (between Elgin and
Faraday Streets), Carlton, and costs $17 per day. Entrance is off Cardigan Street. See Map 1.
