Event and Session Registration and Confirmation

Participants for Events and Sessions are required to register through the Site. Participants are deemed registered and confirmed attendees on completion of their online Event registration. The registration must be completed with the details of the Participant attending the Event or Session. After registration, the Terms and Conditions relating to transfers or cancellation will apply.

Registration for MacKillop Seasons Events and Sessions must be completed no less than 24 hours prior to the Event or Session. Late registrations may be accepted at MacKillop Seasons’ discretion. MacKillop Seasons offers no guarantee that it will accommodate entry for late registrations. Unregistered Participants will not be accepted in online or in-person Events or Sessions.

Event Transfers

Participants should select the Event date carefully as Event and Session transfers will only be permitted in the following situations and will incur the following fees:

  • A transfer more than fourteen (14) days prior to the Event or Session will be permitted subject to a $200 transfer administration fee, payable immediately via a card payment;
  • A transfer less than fourteen (14) days prior to the Event will not be permitted, and failure to attend will result in the Participant forfeiting the Event or Session registration fee; and
  • A transfer is not permitted where registration was completed using a voucher from a philanthropic or government initiative.

A certificate of completion for the course will only be issued by MacKillop Seasons to participants who complete the full-length Event or Session. Where Participants are unable to attend an Event or Session to its end, a transfer to another scheduled Event or Session is required, attracting a $200 transfer administration fee.

MacKillop Seasons may waive the above conditions and transfer fees in exceptional circumstances, at our sole discretion. When making this determination, we will consider the nature of the transfer and any circumstances surrounding the request. You should contact the MacKillop Seasons team with all your requests by email to info.seasons@mackillop.org.au

Cancellation by Event Participant

As places are limited, late cancellations can adversely impact the delivery of the Event or Session. Accordingly, MacKillop Seasons is only able to refund booking fees for late cancellations in accordance with the guidelines below.


Our refund policy is as follows:

  • For a cancellation more than fourteen (14) days prior to the Event or Session, Participants will receive a full refund.
  • For a cancellation less than fourteen (14) days prior to the Event or Session, Participants will not be entitled to any refund.
  • Failure to attend an Event or Session without a cancellation will not attract a refund.

The above refund policy will apply to Participants attending Events or Sessions registered with vouchers funded through philanthropic and government initiatives. Participants registering for Events or Sessions with vouchers will be invoiced in line with this refund policy.

MacKillop Seasons may waive the above conditions and cancellation fees in exceptional circumstances, at our sole discretion. When making this determination, will consider the nature of the cancellation and any circumstances surrounding the request. You should contact the MacKillop Seasons team with your request by email to info.seasons@mackillop.org.au

Refunds will be processed through the method and platform used for payment.

A cancellation must be made via email to info.seasons@mackillop.org.auThe effective date of cancellation is the date the cancellation request is received in writing by MacKillop Seasons.

Participants Registering for Events with a Funded Voucher

It is a condition of registration with a voucher funded by philanthropic or government initiatives that Participants will attend the Event or Session, participate in third party evaluations, and implement the program in their school or community.

Participants who fail to implement the program, provide feedback to MacKillop Seasons and participate in third party evaluations as per the voucher request, may be liable for the full Event or Session and materials fee.

This condition does not affect the transfer and cancellation policies above as they operate to voucher registrations.
