Vouchers

Class fees can be paid for each class by voucher. These can be purchased from the office, and are available in bundles of five for $10.00 (card payment is preferred).

Payment in advance

Members can choose to pay class fees for a term in advance instead of paying each time they attend a class.

To encourage members to take up this option, class fees will be discounted by 25 per cent, if paid in advance.

  • 10 weekly $2.00 fees will be charged $15.00 (instead of $20.00)
  • 5 fortnightly $2.00 fees will be charged $7.50 (instead of $10.00)

  • 5 fortnightly $4.00 fees will be charged $15.00 (instead of $20.00).

NB: The prepayment discount will be a 25 per cent discount of the full-term payments. Any public holidays during the term will not result in a further discount.

This discounted rate will not be refundable if a member does not attend a class or classes during the term, unless there are exceptional medical reasons, such as a hospital stay.

Procedure for prepayments

If members are pre-enrolled (rolled over by the tutor) in a class and wish to take up the option to pre-pay for the entire term at the discounted price, payment will be required before term commences.

To do this, members must have renewed their membership for the 2026 calendar year. These students will receive an emailed notice by Friday 26 June, 2026 with the option to prepay course fees for the term. Once the option to pre-pay is selected, payment is required by credit card, and a receipt will be emailed to you. Please wait for this confirmation email as clicking on the link twice will create a duplicate invoice. This offer is only available until Friday 10 July, 2026.

For members not wishing to pay online, the campus office will be open for prepayments prior to the commencement of Term 3 on the dates and times set out below:
Tuesday 30 June and Wednesday 1 July, 2026 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
