Another cause might be that the admin.visitorregistration.com.au website is being blocked by your server firewall.  Please ensure that admin.visitorregistration.com.au is whitelisted.


This can be checked by the Safari browser on the IPad to surf to the website. If you are unable to connect to this url, then whitelisting it in your server setting may resolve the issue and enable data to be sent to the Cloud from the IPad.
