Queensland Museum has changed the way schools pay for
excursions.
An invoice will be issued with your confirmed numbers four weeks prior
to the excursion date. Full payment is required within 7 days of the invoice
date.
For bookings made within four weeks of the excursion date, final numbers are
required at the time of booking and payment due within 7 days or before your visit,
whichever comes first.
Select programs are also available to book directly via
QTIX. If using this method, final numbers and payment are required at the time of
booking.

issued will incur a $90 administration fee. The unpaid invoice will be
