Optus Policies
Standard of Conduct
As a participant in Pacesetters 2024 and in your capacity as an employee/representative of Optus you are required to maintain a standard of conduct befitting one of Australia's highest profile companies at all times in Western Australia. With the number of delegates participating in the Pacesetters 2024 program, Optus will have a very strong presence at the Westin Perth and throughout various locations in Perth. Professional behaviours in accordance with Optus' policies will be expected at all times even though much of the event is outside of work hours. All the relevant standards of behaviour and policies will apply for those attending Pacesetters 2024. These include the Code of Conduct, Social Media Policy, Appropriate Workplace Behaviour Policy, and Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy. The Expense Reimbursement Policy and Corporate Credit Card Policy only applies to Optus employees.
Your attendance at Pacesetters may be subject to Fringe Benefits Tax, which is paid by Optus, however a grossed-up amount may appear on your annual PAYG Payment Summary as a Reportable Fringe Benefit.
Guidelines
Transport to and from your home airport
You may use your corporate credit card for taxi transfers to and from your home and airport. If you do not have a corporate card, keep your taxi receipt and claim your trip as an expense. Your manager will advise you of this process if you need further information.
Transportation for pre and post Pacesetters travel
If you have arranged to extend your travel pre or post Pacesetters 2024, airport transfers outside of the group dates are at your own expense.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is included through the Optus Travel Policy for the period of travel between 2-5 September 2024 only.
Please be aware that the majority of travel insurance companies do not cover you if the policy commences once you have left for your trip, therefore, you may need to purchase a policy for the entire duration of your trip.
An extension to this policy cannot be arranged. If you are planning an extension, an alternative travel insurance policy is strongly recommended.
If you wish to extend without insurance you waive your right to pursue a claim through the Optus policy and release Optus and The Beyond Yes Team from any obligation or liability.
Medical Information
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, we recommend you consult with your medical practitioner before deciding to attend.
In the unlikely event that you need medical assistance, please contact either a member of the Beyond Yes Events Team or hotel management for assistance. In the event of an emergency, please dial 000 for Australia’s Emergency line or 112 if you are in an area of questionable coverage.
Meals and Beverages
Your personalised itinerary (available via the Pacesetters 2024 mobile app closer to event commencement) outlines the meals and beverages included as part of Pacesetters 2024. If you choose to order room service, dine somewhere other than the arranged restaurants and cafes, or require alternative beverages than those provided, these costs must be covered at your own expense.
Single Supplement Upgrade
The single supplement upgrade is refundable up to 30 days prior to the commencement of Pacesetters 2024. Requests for refunds within the 30-day period will be considered only under exceptional circumstances.
All Other Costs
Any personal incidental expenses, including optional activities, must be paid directly to the hotel prior to your departure.
