Course Refund & Cancellation Policy

When a customer accepts a place offered by VaxWorks Health Services and pays the fees, it means a binding contract is created between the customer and VaxWorks Health Services. Notification of cancellation/withdrawal from unit/s of competency, withdrawal or deferral from a course of study must be made in writing to VaxWorks Health Services.

In the case of cancellation/withdrawal, the following cancellation fees will apply:

  • Customers who give notice to cancel their enrolment more than 10 days prior to the commencement of a program will be entitled to a full refund of fees paid.
  • Customers who give notice to cancel their enrolment fees less than 10 days prior to the commencement of a program will be entitled to a 75% refund of fees paid. The amount retained (25%) by VaxWorks Health Services is required to cover the cost of staff and resources which will have already been committed based on the Customers initial intention to undertake the training. Enrolments into short courses (one day) can also be transferred to an alternative date in cases where there is one available.
  • Customers who cancel their enrolment after a training program has commenced will not be entitled to a refund of fees. Enrolment into a course via distance delivery will be deemed to have commenced when the learner resources have been dispatched.

There is no charge for a Customer to transfer to another course with VaxWorks Health Services. If VaxWorks Health Services cancels a course, then a full refund will be made available to whoever paid that course fee.

Please note, an administration fees may still apply for the processing of refunds. Discretion may be exercised by the Director in all situations if the Customer can demonstrate that extenuating or significant personal circumstance led to their withdrawal. In these cases, the Customer should be offered a full credit toward the tuition fee in another scheduled program in-lieu of a refund. The Director may also authorise a refund of tuition fees if the circumstances require it.

Where refunds are approved, the refund payment must be paid to the Customer within 14 days from the time the Customer gave written notice to cancel their enrolment. Tuition refunds are to be paid via electronic funds transfer using the authorised bank account nominated by the Customer.

NOTE: If for any reason VaxWorks Health Services is unable to fulfill its service agreement with a Customer, VaxWorks Health Services must refund the student a proportion of fees paid for services not delivered.
