We may contact you to inform you about course cancellations, change of venue and we might use your contact details to notify you about upcoming courses and special announcements and offers. Any personal or financial details which you provide are used to process enrolments and course enquiries. All information is protected by Health Institute Australasia’s secure server. HIA is not involved in selling, trading or alternative use of your personal information. HIA will not sell, rent or share your information with any unauthorised third party.
Please advise us if you move house, change your mobile number or email address. Any changes to personal details must be advised in writing to the Health Institute Australasia.

Unless stated, Health Institute Australasia short and accredited courses do not attract GST.
The ‘what is in my course package’ on each of the courses pages on the Health Institute Australasia’s website will indicate whether course materials (if any) are included in the course fee or are an additional cost. If any catering and accommodation is included such as at yoga and Ayurveda retreats, this will also be indicated in the course flyer.
There are two fees available for accredited courses, namely domestic and international. Local fees apply to Australian and New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. International fees apply to those on a student visa, which must be valid for the duration of the course. Short course fees are the same for both domestic and international students.
Health Institute Australasia short courses are open to everyone. Some of our more advanced short courses may require a certain level of knowledge. Please feel free to contact us for further details to see if the course is appropriate for your needs.
Health Institute Australasia accredited courses are open to anyone with IELTS proficiency in English of 5.5 or equivalent. However some higher level courses such as Diploma or Advanced Diploma may have prerequisites while the Certificate IV courses require no previous knowledge on the subject. Please feel free to contact us for further details to see if the course is appropriate for your needs.
