Cancellations and Refunds - Professional Development programs and Legal Practice Management courses

We understand that sometimes circumstances will prevent you from attending a live program you have paid to attend. Please note if you cancel up to 7 days prior to course commencement or prior to the specified deadline where applicable (Mental Health First Aid Legal Professionals, Mediation Training Program and Assessment) you are eligible for a full refund. A cancellation/transfer fee will apply for any further cancellations. The below cancellation fees will be deducted from the refund when you cancel, up to the day before the program.

No refunds are available the day of or after the program, or in the case of on-demand programs, once your COLPASS details and password have been sent. In the case of live courses conducted online, no refunds are available once the video conference meeting details and course materials have been supplied on the day preceding the course.

Refunds will only be credited to the original funding source or via other means as agreed by the College. Should you choose retaining credit with the College as an alternative, this credit will be made available for application within 12 months. If the credit is not applied within 12 months, the credit will expire and no longer be available for you to apply. Please note that any applicable cancellation/transfer fee will be deducted from the credit available.

Our pricing is on a per person basis and in the case of online courses, you are not permitted to purchase a single enrolment and share the video-conference details with others or broadcast the content to multiple people. The College reserves the right to remove or require payment from any unauthorised attendees. Please contact our Practitioner Education team in advance if you wish to enrol multiple people in a course. If someone other than the purchaser views the content and claims CPD points for completion, we will have no record of that in the event that the person is audited in relation to their CPD compliance.

The below cancellation fees will be deducted from the refund when you cancel (subject to the above), within 7 days (or the specified deadline where applicable) of a program. All fees below include GST, unless otherwise stated.
