Cancellation Policy  |  Website Terms & Conditions

Cancellation Policy

1. Objectives and Background

Parasol PTY LTD (Parasol) is committed to providing the best service in a timely manner. We aim to accommodate your needs.

Unfortunately, when an individual or organisation cancels without giving adequate notice, it prevents another client from being served. This cancellation policy is used to respect the time commitment of all involved. It explains the process for requesting a cancellation and the fees applicable. This policy is fair to our business and the clients who would otherwise have wanted a course or course place.

We are implementing a specific cancellation policy to be upfront about all the costs you may face when engaging our services.

2. Course Content and Program Schedule

Parasol Pty Ltd (PARASOL) reserves the right to:

  • Alter the advertised schedule of courses, which may include cancellation of a course.
  • Alter or amend the advertised content of any course without notice to continuously provide a high-quality service or due to circumstances beyond our control.
  • Change the venue from what was advertised initially.
  • Will not be liable for any losses or expenses, including consequential, arising from any such alterations or amendments to the program content and schedule, including cancellation.
  • Postpone courses due to natural disasters, public unrest, or other significant events outside our control.
  • All courses require a minimum number of participants on each course. Parasol reserves the right to cancel any course if the minimum number of participants is not reached. Where Parasol cancels a course, individuals with confirmed bookings on that course will be offered alternative dates. A refund will be returned to the individual or organisation if none can be provided.

3. Course Transfer Policy

A confirmed booking may be transferred to another Parasol course of the same type (ALS1 to ALS1, ALS2 to ALS2 etc.), availability permitting, up to 34 days before the booking.  If transferring into a course that will occur in the next 30 days, no further booking transfers will be possible. Parasol is not obliged to ensure suitable alternatives are available.

Transfers between different course types will be considered a cancellation, and a $200 administration charge will apply. Transfers are not permitted within 34 days or less of the training course start date. Any fees due will revert to a cancellation fee for the original booking if the transferred booking is subsequently cancelled. This aligns with the ARC and governing body rules regarding the distribution of the physical study manual. 

Special case transfer request: It is possible to substitute a suitable alternative delegate on any place booked at no additional cost within 14 days before the course commencement if the substitute attendee has access to a manual and informs Parasol by email that they can complete the required study ahead of time. Substitute attendees must be arranged by the individual who completed the original booking.

Failure to do this will result in a no-refund cancellation. All pre-course materials already received or due must be passed on to the delegate by the individual requesting the change/booked to attend. Please email: requests@parasol.edu.au, and the case will be considered if suitable.

4. Cancellation Process

We understand situations can arise in which you must cancel your appointment. Due to the limited availability of course places, we request you cancel with adequate notice (34 Days out from the course).  Early cancellation allows us to fill that place or course. 

You may request a booking change by emailing us at the following email address: requests@parasol.edu.au

We require a minimum of 34 days’ notice for cancellation. Please inform us by 15:00 EST, 34 days before your scheduled course, to notify us of any changes or cancellations. Cancellations made more than 34 days before the course incur a $200 administration charge.

If no prior notice or the notice is not provided within the minimum notice period, you will be charged a cancellation fee (see below) for the missed course.

5. Cancellation Fee

  • The cancellation fee is 100% of the course
  • The cancellation fee will be charged by forfeit of fees paid or
  • The cancellation fee may be deducted from any deposit paid for the appointment (if any).
  • Absence from registration at the commencement of the course will be classed as a cancellation.

6. Cancellation within 34 days and Replacement Possible

If the cancellation request is made within 34 days of the course date and a replacement candidate is available, Parasol may offer an alternative date for attendance. The administration of this transfer at late notice will incur a transfer fee. Course governance may prevent these replacements if the replacement candidate does not align with the ARC and governing body rules regarding adequate study time.

  • Parasol PTY LTD is not obliged to ensure suitable alternatives are available.
  • A transfer fee of $200 will be charged to complete the rescheduling.
  • The transfer is payable before attendance at the rescheduled course.

7. Attendance and Late Arrivals

You must make arrangements to arrive for the commencement of the course and depart following its completion. Courses require attendance in total. Lack of attendance on the day, irrespective of the cause, is classified as a cancellation. Parasol cannot be responsible for any changes or cancellations of travel arrangements that result in the inability to attend a course as scheduled.

Participants are required to attend all sessions. Late arrivals for courses are not permitted. The Course Director may offer time to catch up on missed components of a single session during the course program. The Director will assess if the missed content can be met within the course time frame. As the schedule is busy, this time is limited, and late arrivals may not be able to attend the remainder of the course. This is to give all attendees the best possible chance of passing and limit disruptions for other class attendees. To uphold the required course level to pass it is important that all attendees respect the requirements and attend all sessions on time and in full.

8. Travel-Related Issues and Loss of Fees

We understand that plans may change due to uncontrollable and external circumstances. It is advised that you seek to insure against any travel disruption or delay that may impact your attendance on the course. Parasol is not responsible for any cancellation or postponement of travel arrangements or resulting loss of course place/fees.

9. Refund Policy

Parasol offers a 48-hour cooling-off period from the time of the initial booking. 

All other refund requests will be processed according to the terms and conditions of this cancellation policy.

10. Communication and Behaviour

Parasol reserves the right to cancel course attendance at any time in the event of harassment and bullying. Cancellation will follow the described process above in section 4.

Parasol is committed to providing a workplace free of harassment and bullying, as prescribed by Commonwealth and state legislation. All workers have the right to be treated with dignity and respect and are required to treat each other accordingly.

This policy applies to all employees, customers, and any other workers. It applies in the workplace, including working off-site and during any activity undertaken in the course of employment, including work-related events such as business trips, meetings, social events, and training programs. Candidates may be excluded from courses prior to attendance or at any time during the course or event.

Any grievances raised under this policy will be treated seriously and as confidentially as possible. You will not be penalised or disadvantaged due to raising any genuine concern or complaint.

Harassment

Harassment is not permitted and means any unwelcome behaviour that a reasonable person in the circumstances would find offensive, humiliating or intimidating. The fact that no offence was intended does not mean that harassment has not occurred. If the behaviour has the effect of being offensive, humiliating or intimidating, that is usually enough.

Harassment may occur as a single act or as a series of incidents. It may be subtle or openly hostile and occur in private or public settings.

Examples of harassment may include, but are not limited to:

  • swearing in the workplace;
  • gossiping about a person, or asking intrusive questions about another person’s private life, including their religion, family or other matters;
  • constantly monitoring what someone else is doing, giving unsolicited or unreasonable criticism or ‘nitpicking’;
  • openly displaying pictures, graffiti or other written materials that might be offensive; and/or
  • sending communications via phone, email or computer networks which may be threatening, abusive, or offensive.

Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment means any unwelcome behaviour of a sexual nature that a reasonable person in the circumstances would find offensive, humiliating or intimidating. Such conduct is unlawful and not permitted.

Examples of sexual harassment may include, but are not limited to:

  • sexual advances or requests for sexual favours;
  • inappropriate or unsolicited physical contact, such as patting or pinching;
  • sexual violence or indecent and/or sexual assault;
  • public displays of nudity;
  • verbal comments or unwelcome questions about someone’s appearance, dress or private life;
  • lewd jokes or wolf whistling; and/or
  • Communications displaying offensive material or pornography, including posters and calendars, via email, social media, or mobile phone.

Bullying

Workplace bullying means repeated and unreasonable behaviour directed towards another person or group of people that creates a risk to health and safety, with:

  • repeated behaviour refers to the persistent nature of such behaviour, which can be about a range of actions over time; and
  • unreasonable behaviour refers to behaviour that a reasonable person would consider unreasonable in the circumstances. It includes behaviour that is victimising, humiliating, intimidating or threatening.

Such behaviour may be unlawful and is not permitted. Single incidents of such conduct may also present a risk to health and safety and will not be tolerated.

It may include obvious verbal or physical assault to very subtle psychological abuse and can include:

  • physical intimidation or actions such as punching a person;
  • verbal abuse, threats, sarcasm or other forms of demeaning or intimidating language or communication;
  • psychological harassment;
  • excluding or isolating another person; and/or
  • deliberate change of work duties, sabotaging another’s work or placing unreasonable work demands on another person.

What is not workplace bullying?

Reasonable management action taken reasonably is not bullying.

Managers are responsible for conducting reviews, managing employees and clients, and providing feedback on performance and work-related behaviour. Occasionally, this may include negative reviews or comments that may be uncomfortable but will not amount to bullying or harassment.

Workplace bullying does not include:

  • legitimate and relevant counselling, comments or advice relating to your performance or conduct at work; and/or
  • discussion or counselling designed to assist in meeting performance targets.

Please note you will be asked to acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consented to this Cancellation Policy.
