Extenuating Circumstances Policy

IAP2 Australasia considers applications to waive cancellation fees under extenuating circumstances. Acceptable circumstances typically include illness, personal or family emergencies, and religious holidays. Documentation may be required to support such claims. Conflicts due to job interviews, career pursuits, personal or professional commitments, or travel do not qualify for a waiver.

  • Replacement Participant: No cancellation fee will apply if a compliant replacement is found.

For face-to-face training/events, we strongly recommend not booking flights or accommodation until 2 weeks prior to the scheduled program date. Booking flights or accommodation earlier than 2 weeks prior will be at your own risk and we are unable to provide compensation for cancellation fees incurred by other providers.

The only exception is an absence due to extenuating circumstances by reason of: Illness, Personal or Family Emergency and Religious holidays. Conflicts due to job interviews, career pursuits, weddings, personal/professional commitments or travel will not be deemed as valid reasons to justify an absence. Any absence should be notified to IAP2A via email to training@iap2.org.au in advance of the scheduled session if possible.
