Course Overview

The Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry (SCHADS) Award has been significantly altered by the Fair Work Commission over the past few years.

Our comprehensive training program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills essential for navigating the dynamic SCHADS Award.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cancellation/rescheduling policy? 

Cancellations must be made in writing to Dimarcorp Academy. Where written notice is received at least 14 days prior to the scheduled course date, a credit note will be issued unless a full refund is requested in writing. Cancellations received less than 14 days prior to the scheduled course date are not eligible for a credit note or refund due to the Academy’s commitment to a Facilitator and other related expenses.

Dimarcorp Academy may, at its discretion, offer a one-time complimentary reschedule for participants unable to attend their original course date, provided the request is made 2 hours prior to the scheduled session. This reschedule is offered as a goodwill gesture and constitutes a variation to the original contract of sale. Upon accepting the reschedule, the original course date remains the contractual milestone, and the participant is deemed to have entered into a revised agreement. No credit note or refund will be payable if the participant does not attend the rescheduled session.

I want to attend but I can no longer make this date?

Please contact us on 1300 85 00 77 or at academy@dimarcorp.com.au and we will be able to assist you. If there is another date available you will be able to transfer at no extra cost. Additional transfers incur a $50 admin fee. If there are no further dates scheduled, you can elect to attend a different course. 

Do I need to bring anything?

We have got you covered! All the necessary paperwork for your course, including a comprehensive workbook and supplementary handouts, will be provided by us. To ensure a smooth experience, make sure to arrange the technical aspects required if you are joining one of our webinars. Additionally, having a pen handy will be beneficial for any notes you may want to jot down during the session.

How do you provide your training courses?

Our training courses are facilitated both online via webinar, pre-recorded or via in-person at a venue or we can also arrange for inhouse training at your organisation.

Can an Inhouse session be customised to my needs?
