PRICING & ACCESS

We offer tiered pricing to support equitable access, participation and reciprocity.

Tiers 1 & 2 make it possible for us to offer scholarship places for those experiencing significant personal or community-based financial hardship. If you are well-resourced, we thank you for helping us to pay it forward and support equity in our broader community.

Limited allocations per tier are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please select your tier based on your genuine capacity to pay. **Please note: If places are full for your appropriate tier, please do not select a lower tier – it will take the place away from someone with a more limited capacity to pay.

All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD).

We have found that the greatest engagement and benefit comes when there is a meaningful, mutual exchange. We also recognise that we live in systems of inequity. For these reasons, we offer tiered pricing and invite you to reflect on your personal and local financial circumstances: access to resources, what you can afford and would feel is a meaningful exchange, and what you might pay for comparable professional training programs.

TESTIMONIALS

This course has gently and tenderly unwound me, opened me up and transformed me. Not only am I walking away with practical skills to teach and facilitate within the community but I now possess the tools with which to support myself as well as others. The 4 modules have really challenged me and I'm so grateful for the container that Mei Lai and her team created and held for us.
