Fees, charges & refunds

How fee information is provided and protected, and how refunds are considered.

EESI · RTO 46127 · ABN 22 664 172 730 · info@eesi.edu.au

Fee information before enrolment

Eligible students receive fees, payment terms and refund conditions in writing before they enrol, in a written fee offer or enrolment confirmation. Other charges, if any, are listed under Other charges on the course fees page.

Prepaid fees

Individual prepaid fees for the same VET course will not exceed $1,500 at any time. Payment timing is set out in your written fee offer or enrolment confirmation.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law

Nothing on this page limits your consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. Where an unsolicited consumer agreement applies, a mandatory cooling-off period of 10 business days applies. Any additional voluntary cooling-off period for online enrolments will be stated in your enrolment confirmation if offered.

Provider default

If EESI cancels a course or cannot deliver it as agreed, you can choose either an equivalent course at no extra cost, where one is available, or a refund of prepaid fees for training not delivered. Refund timing and method will be stated in your enrolment confirmation.

Withdrawal before commencement

If you withdraw before your course starts, any fees you have paid are refunded in full. No administration fee applies. Refund timing and method will be stated in your enrolment confirmation.

Withdrawal after commencement

If you withdraw after commencement, any fee for training already delivered is based on the fee set out in your written fee offer or enrolment confirmation and the portion of training delivered. Fees for training not yet delivered are not charged, or are refunded in full if you have already paid them. The exact calculation is set out in your enrolment confirmation.

No administration fee applies to withdrawal (see Other charges on the course fees page). No other withdrawal charges apply.

Employer-paid fees

Where an employer or sponsoring organisation pays your fees, those fees are set out in your written fee offer and are not published on this website. You still receive the fees, payment terms and refund conditions in writing before you enrol. Refunds are paid to whoever paid the fees. Nothing in an employer arrangement limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

How to request a refund

Refund requests are made in writing to info@eesi.edu.au.

If you disagree with a fee or refund decision

Fee and refund complaints are handled through our complaints and appeals process.
