Following enrolment, a quote is sent out outlining applicable course fees and details. Upon booking confirmation, clients are issued with a tax invoice and payment methods. Additional fees may be charged for:
  • The replacement of any learning resources that are lost or misplaced. As these vary from program to program clients are required to view course information for more detailed costings prior to their enrolment.
  • The reissuance of misplaced or lost certificates. An extra fee of $30 is charged for each certificate (Testamur, Record of Results and/or Statement of Attainment) that requires reprinting.
  • Application of a USI number on behalf of the client if required.
  • Clients who require reassessment of a task (i.e. following 3 previous unsuccessful submissions) will be charged an extra fee for each subsequent submission.

4.2 Fee Collection and Payment Methods
Clients are provided with detailed fees, charges and refund information prior to enrolment, and are asked to sign a declaration (electronic acceptance) stating that they have been provided with sufficient information in which to make an informed decision - as a part of the enrolment process.

For individual students, fees can be paid in full prior to the commencement of training in the case where the total amount invoiced does not exceed $1,500.00. If the total fees exceed $1,500.00, a minimum deposit of $500.00 is made prior to commencement of training, and the remainder of fees are paid according to the agreed payment plan and prior to issuing a certificate. Payment methods are as outlined in the invoice sent to the client. For employers, the above limit does not apply and invoice payment can be made at any stage prior to issuing certificates. Fees paid are documented in the student management system and in the financial accounts where regular reconciliation occurs. Failure to pay scheduled fees may lead to a discontinuation of training or the delay in the issuance of a certificate until the outstanding fees have been paid. Where training discontinuation or a delay in the issuing of a certificate is likely, clients will be informed of their rights and responsibilities. Allcare First Aid Services retains all evidence of fees collected and all attempts to recover outstanding fees in the clients file and in the student management system.
