Zero-Tolerance for Abuse Policy

ACTWELL First Aid and Training is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all participants and staff. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of abuse, including but not limited to:

• Verbal abuse

• Physical abuse

• Emotional or psychological abuse

• Sexual harassment or abuse

• Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, or sexual orientation

Late Arrival, No-Show, and Short-Notice Cancellation Policy

Late Arrival

While we understand that unforeseen circumstances can cause delays, we regret to inform participants that late arrivals cannot be accommodated. This is due to the accredited nature of our courses, which require strict adherence to guidelines set forth by governing bodies such as the ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority) and our Partner Registered Training Organisation (RTO) #90909.

Arriving more than 10 minutes late to the course will result in non-admittance, and participants will be considered a no-show, incurring the full cost of the course fee. This policy ensures that we maintain the integrity and compliance of our accredited courses.

No-Show

Failure to attend the course without prior notification will result in the participant being charged the full cost of the course fee.

Short-Notice Cancellation

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the course commencement time will also result in the participant being charged the full cost of the course fee.

To avoid these charges, please ensure you arrive on time and provide at least 48 hours notice if you cannot attend the course for any reason.

Organisational Responsibility for No-Show/Late Staff Members

Organisations that enrol their staff members in our courses are financially responsible for any no-shows or late arrivals. If a staff member fails to attend the course without prior notification or arrives more than 10 minutes late, the organisation will be charged the full cost of the course fee and any subsequent rebooking fees.

Organisations are encouraged to communicate this policy to their staff members prior to enrolment to avoid any unexpected charges.

Rebooking Fees

Cancelling or postponing a course more than three times, even with more than 48 hours notice, may incur an administration fee for further re-bookings. 

Assessment

Assessments are conducted in accordance with ASQA and RTO guidelines. Participants must successfully complete 2 minutes of floor-based CPR and first aid scenarios and any multiple-choice assessments.

Not Yet Competent (NYC): Participants who do not meet these requirements will be rescheduled for another assessment within 14 days.
