Booking with us
For information plus enrolment terms and conditions please visit our How to enrol with us page.
Please also note:
- If a listed activity says 'bookings closed' please check the enrolment dates for your next opportunity to book.
- When a course or activity has started, online enrolment closes. However, in some cases there may still be spaces available. Check the course description or contact us on 9433 3744 for information.
- While we always do our best not to cancel activities, in some cases if we don’t get enough enrolments we may need to cancel. To ensure our courses are sustainable and our tutors have time to prepare, our Program Coordinators regularly assess bookings prior to the scheduled start date to ensure minimum numbers are reached.
To avoid disappointment, we encourage you to book early.
