Cyber Social Program Cancellation Policy

We understand that sometimes plans change, and you may need to cancel or reschedule your support sessions. To ensure smooth operations and fairness for everyone, we have established this cancellation policy for our gaming programs. Please take the time to read through the terms because we want to ensure that you fully understand and feel confident in managing your support sessions with us.

If you have any questions or need clarification please reach out to our Accounts Team at accounts@gslservices.com.au

One Shots and Events

One shots and events are written into a Schedule of Support and in compliance with NDIS price guide regulations, standard short-term cancellation policies apply:

Notice Period: Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows us time to offer the time slot to another participant who may need it and adjust our schedule. No charges will apply.

Short Notice Cancellations: If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to attend a scheduled session without prior notice (“no-show”), the full session fee will be charged as a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee will be deducted from your funding allocation for that support session.

Exceptions: We understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can arise. If you’re unable to provide the required notice due to illness, emergency situations, or other valid reasons, please let us know as soon as possible. In such cases, the cancellation fee may be waived.

It’s essential to communicate any cancellations or changes promptly. You can notify us by calling our program coordinator or sending an email to relationships@gslservices.com.au . Please provide your name and the details of the support session you wish to cancel or reschedule.

12 week Campaigns

Each campaign is written into a Program of Support. Each program spans a maximum of 12 weekly sessions. These sessions are scheduled throughout the school term (10 weeks) and extend into the school holidays (2 weeks). Should you prefer not to participate during the holidays, you must notify us at least 2 weeks before the holiday period to terminate your Program of Support.

For individuals joining a group midway through a term, the program of support will be tailored for the remaining duration of that period.

As part of the Program of Supports, participants are invoiced according to the agreed rates, irrespective of their attendance. In compliance with NDIS price guide regulations, standard short-term cancellation policies do not apply to Program of Supports arrangements.

To maintain group cohesion and a secure environment that nurtures social connection, cancellations are strongly discouraged and should be minimized whenever possible.

Special events and one shots are written into a Schedule of Support. These are single events which can be booked individually or in bulk.

Campaigns and Esports Coaching are written into a Program of Support. Each Program of Support is for a maximum of 12 x weekly sessions. Sessions will run through the school term (10 weeks) plus the school holidays (2 weeks). If you do not wish to attend through the school holidays, you can give notice 2 weeks prior to the holiday starting, to cancel your Program of Support. If you’re joining a group mid term, the Program of Support will be for the remainder of that period.

Our aim is to nurture a safe and supportive environment that develops participant skills through in-person group experiences. Cancellations are strongly discouraged.

In some circumstances online participation may be offered to a regular participant of One Shot events. Online participation is not extended to Special Events.
