Cancellations by you
Do not send personal messages via DM to directors or camp organisers to cancel your spot/ course. They will not respond! The only way to cancel is to complete the google form HERE. Whilst we understand that accidents and life happens, these are the exact reasons we have the policies and no exceptional circumstances will be considered except for your own or a partner/ child’s death or incapacitating injury. See below for more information.
Instructor Training Courses
Face to Face Courses: We do not issue refunds and the money collected may not be transferred or substituted for another service. If for any reason you are unable to attend the training you registered and paid for, you must send an email to the office (or through the contact form on this website) to reschedule to attend an alternate training at a later date or may be offered the possibility to complete the course through an online version if available. There may be an administration fee for this service.

Pole Retreats/ Camps: are non transferrable. We will deduct an AUD $300 administration fee when you cancel, in addition to the following costs:
- 8-12 weeks before departure = 75% of total cost
- 0-8 weeks before departure = 100% of total cost
Refunds will be offered only in exceptional circumstances of your own or a partner’s or your own child’s death or permanent incapacitating injury only. Illness/ pregnancy/ injuries/ family trouble/ work commitments/ changes to circumstances etc, whilst we understand are difficult to navigate and we empathise, will not warrant a refund. We know it’s sensitive, but if you are asking for a refund in an exceptional circumstance, please provide the medical (or other) certificate for your exceptional reason to avoid any awkwardness for anyone or hard feelings!

Cancellations by us
