In general, the most convenient and cost-effective way is to fly with Jetstar directly from Narita to the Gold Coast, or from Kansai Airport via Narita to the Gold Coast. Please note, however, that Jetstar does re-schedule flights from time to time. Furthermore, in order to be at the Gold Coast on the morning of 23rd March, participants will need to book flights that depart no later than the evening of 22nd March.<\/p>\n<p>Information is available on Jetstar\u2019s home page (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetstar.com\/au\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">http:\/\/www.jetstar.com\/au\/en\/home<\/span><\/a>) and bookings can be easily made in 10-15 minutes by following the instructions. Although you are not required to enter a passport number at this time, you will need to have a credit card ready to make the payment. If you require further assistance, please contact the AJWCEF Head Office by email: training@ajwcef.org. We are also able to recommend a reliable travel agent should you require help with flight and insurance arrangements (being a not-for-profit organisation, AJWCEF itself is not a travel agent). Please be aware, however, that booking through a travel agent will add to the cost of these elements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accommodation &amp; Meals<\/strong><br \/>\nDepending on the ratio of male to female participants, accommodation may be twin share (2 people) or a suite room (up to 6 people). Apartments feature a spacious living area and a fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, microwave oven, oven, crockery, etc.) so you can choose whether to self-cater for yourself or as a group, or dine out. Any groceries required for self-catering are not included in course fees, but based on the current cost of food in Australia $200-$250 should be sufficient for one person for nine days. If required, an AJWCEF staff member will accompany participants to the nearby shopping centre. * Accommodation may be changed in the event of unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Isle of Palms Resort (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.isleofpalms.com.au\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">http:\/\/www.isleofpalms.com.au<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the welcome lunch on day 1, all meals are at participants\u2019 own expense (please refer to schedule).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health &amp; Vaccinations<\/strong><br \/>\nPlease advise us of any health issues, allergies, etc., when applying to participate in the training course.
