Invoices are emailed out at the beginning of each term. If you have not received an invoice or your invoice is incorrect, it is your responsibility to let the office know within the first two weeks of term. An updated invoice will then be emailed to you.
Term fees are fixed amounts, and are charged out according to the number of weeks in the particular term: ie 8,9 or 10 weeks. Fees remain payable in cases of absence. There are no reductions or credits for sickness, injury or holidays.

Fees are payable in advance, and are GST inclusive. Fees must be paid in full within 2 weeks of the term commencing; otherwise an administrative charge will be added.
Any fees overdue more than two terms, will be forwarded to a collection agency, unless prior arrangement has been made with the office. LDA reserves the right to refuse entry to class, exams or the show if fees are not up to date.
