Cancellations and Refunds

Please choose your course carefully. A full refund is payable in the event that a class is cancelled. No other refunds are considered except for extenuating circumstances which are supported by a written application.

Concessions

Concessions are offered to Pensioners, Health Care Card holders and full time students (Conc) and to holders of a Tasmanian Seniors Card (SC). Concessions do not apply to all courses and the concession status of each course is specified in the course guide.
Our website prices show the full price, followed by the concession prices. Mouse-over a concession price to determine whether it is the (Conc) price or (SC) price.

Course Fees

Course fees include GST where required under Taxation Guidelines and covers tutor fee and a levy for materials, equipment and facility usage. Your Course Information will advise if you need to bring other materials to your class at your expense.

Purchasing class materials

Please check your class information to see if you are required to purchase materials to be used in the class. If you do need to purchase anything, wait until 7 days before the class starts as classes sometimes are cancelled if enough enrolments are not received. Libraries Tasmania is not responsible for any outlays made by students for books or materials.

Public Holidays

Classes are not held on public holidays unless otherwise advertised.

Liability

Students should make themselves aware of potential risks involved in a course before enrolling. Students of adult education classes are responsible for the costs of all their own medical or other expenses in the case of an accident occurring before, during or after a course. Libraries Tasmania holds no cover for “no fault” accident insurance for injury to students or damage to property of students participating in adult education courses.
