  • Makeups & Absences

    We will be unable to offer make-up classes in Term 1 2025 due to limited class, coach and administrative availability. If your gymnast is going to be absent, it is appreciated if notice in advance is given either through the online portal, calling or emailing reception on 6263 3460 or reception@hga.org.au. If your gymnast is going to be absent for a consecutive period of 3 weeks or more please contact reception to arrange a credit as per below.

    Public Holidays are also pro-rated from fees as the gym will not be offering classes.

    Credits, Refunds and Cancellations

    In order to secure a place in the class, families are liable for the entire term fees, regardless of how many sessions the child attends. Credits of training fees may be given in accordance with the following:

    Medical Credits

    If a gymnast suffers from an injury or illness that prevents them from attending three consecutive classes during the term. Credit requests will be considered upon a written application by e-mail to reception@hga.org.au. Medical evidence is required.  The credit request and the medical evidence must be received by HGA within 30 days of the initial class absence.

    Non-Medical Credit

    Credit requests for planned non-attendance of three consecutive classes or more require a written application by e-mail to reception@hga.org.au giving 7 days’ clear notice in advance of the missed classes.

    Cancelled Class Credit

    Where HGA has to cancel a class, the member’s account will be credited, for the missed class, at the normal hourly rate charged to the member for that class.

    Non-Returning Gymnast Refunds

    Refund requests, for participants wishing to voluntarily cease classes after the commencement of the term, will be required to pay a cancellation fee of $50.00 per gymnast.  Written notification of class cessations will be required by e-mail to reception@hga.org.au. Fees will be recalculated as from the date of receipt of the written class cessation request.  Revised fees will be posted to the family account and if not paid by the due date, families will be liable to pay full tuition fees plus the additional cancellation fee.

  • Term Fees

    Term classes are charged for 10 week term (or pro-rated), with full fees due 2 weeks from sign up date including any family and GA registration fees. Casual classes, trial fees and holiday classes must be paid before the session.

    Late payments may incur a late payment fee of $30 and overdue accounts may be sent to debt collectors. If an account is in arrears we may request full upfront pay before re-enrolment. We have a strict No Pay, No Play policy if accounts are not paid by Week 8 of the term. 

    Registration Fees
    All students will be required to pay a Gymnastics Australia (GA) Registration fee each year expiring 31 December to cover insurance. Each family is also required to pay a family Club Registration fee, payable yearly and pro-rated for each term.

    Discounts
    The Academy offers a family discount of 5% on term fees for families with 2 gymnasts, and 10% for families with 3 or more gymnasts. Public Holidays are also pro-rated from fees as the gym will not be offering classes.
