When completing the application, ensure that you satisfy the GRANT CONDITIONS listed BELOW.

Grant Conditions


You can apply for a Travel and Accommodation Grant if you satisfy the following criteria:
the Bryan Foundation; and
  • You must be a family carer of a person with an eating disorder.
  • You must be registered to attend both days of the conference.
  • You must be an Australian resident.

You will be notified within 7 days if your travel grant application has been successful.

In the event that the number of applications received exceeds the number of grants available, the Conference Committee reserves the right to prioritise applications according to residential address of the applicant and date of receipt of registration.  

The grants will be paid retrospectively – ie you cannot ask for the funds in advance.  For successful applicants to receive their grant, proof of economy travel and accommodation expenditure totals (such as tax invoices, receipts or hotel booking confirmation) must be presented in person at the registration desk on Day 2 of the conference.  A reimbursement will be paid by EFT into your bank account a short time after the conference.

Grant bodies

These grants are available with funding assistance gratefully received from:
  • the Bryan Foundation; and
  • the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing (under the Mental Health Conference Funding Program, which is managed by the Mental Health Council of Australia)

The grants may be used to assist with any cost of economy travel to/from the conference or budget accommodation during the conference.
