Payment Plan Policy 

It is acknowledged that in the event of default in payment of an amount due to Health Courses Australia will result in a $50 dishonour fee per offence. Repeated failure will result in referral of any resultant debt (inclusive of any accrued interest or other fees whatsoever incurred in accordance with these Conditions of Enrolment) for collection by a mercantile agent plus any additional collection costs incurred. In circumstances where the student has completed the course ahead of paying off for the course the Certificate will be withheld from being issued until the full course payment due is paid.

It is your responsibility to inform Health Courses Australia in writing of any corrections or changes to your personal details including name, address and phone numbers, payment options and banking details.

In circumstances where the student has completed the course ahead of course payments the Certificates will be withheld from being issued until the full course payment due is paid.

Refund Policy

Recovery action 

If you are granted a payment plan, you are liable for all payments even if you discontinue your study. Failure to remit payment may result in the debt being referred to a debt collection agency for recovery and legal action. Costs for this action will be incurred by the debtor and no future payment plans will be approved.
