In extenuating circumstances an application for a refund may be applied for in writing however all refunds will incur an Administration Fee of $30.
Fees are only refundable under exceptional circumstances (e.g. hospitalisation, long term absence due to ongoing illness) with a medical certificate provided and then at the discretion of Making Rainbows.
Refunds are calculated from the date Making Rainbows is informed of your intention to cancel, less the admin fee. If the notification is received the same day as your scheduled class that session is not include in the refund.
Venue Class Shuffling: Pending available spaces, where possible Making Rainbows will allow clients to shuffle into other venues prior to the term starting and/or mid term. If the client wishes to shuffle into another venue after their initial booking, a refund will not be offered for any weeks unused, that is at the discretion of the client.
Fee Credit/Deferments: An application for a ‘credit’ of fees may be applied for in writing to admin@makingrainbows.com.au. If approved, this must be used by the next upcoming term in consecutive weeks.
You are also welcome to ‘gift’ your spot and remaining sessions to a friend or family member if you are no longer able to finish the full enrolment.
Make-Up Class Policy: Making Rainbows sessions are non-refundable and non-transferrable. We do not offer make-up classes but we do offer the option to "gift" any of your missed sessions to a family member or friend who might also have a little one. If you cannot attend your usual session, you can ask another person to attend in your place! Please ensure you provide details of this in advance.
Make-up lessons will ONLY be scheduled where your teacher has been unable to conduct the scheduled class (es). We do not guarantee that the make-up class will be held with the same teacher or on your usual day or time. We require that make-up lessons be taken in the current term except where the cancelled class is at the end of the term. A credit may be issued in this case and must be used in the next booked term. Once a make-up is arranged, changes cannot be made. If your make-up is missed, the make-up is then forfeited.
Contact your teacher below and we will do our best to organise this for you. Classes listed as “Wait List” are unavailable as they are full.
There is no cash equivalent or credit available for the next term.

Illness: Making Rainbows believes that babies and young children should be immunized, and you warrant that the child/ren in your care will not attend if they are unwell, including communicable, contagious or notifiable illnesses. Under the current Public Health Act 2005, this legislation does not make immunisation mandatory and does not force a service to refuse enrolment or attendance of children whose immunisation status are not up-to-date.
If your child exhibits vomiting, diarrhea, has an excessive rash, a persistent cough or green runny nose or obvious contagious conditions, such as head lice or conjunctivitis or a fever over a certain temperature (typically 38C), please refrain from attending Making Rainbows sessions. Bringing other unwell children or siblings, who have been kept home from school to a Making Rainbows class is also not permitted.
Accidents: Making Rainbows Pty Ltd takes no responsibility for personal loss or injury sustained during the session. As you are present in class with your child, you remain responsible for the safety of yourself and your child/ren, relinquishing Making Rainbows Pty Ltd of any liability.
Cancellation of classes: Making Rainbows endeavours to run every class we have committed to! However should we need to cancel a class, parents will be contacted by email and/or text. Making Rainbows reserves the right to cancel classes without refund in exceptional circumstances beyond our control i.e. unpredictable storms and bad weather, the sudden closure of a leased venue (meaning a hired location not controlled or owned by Making Rainbows Pty Ltd), other varied cases of emergency, or unforeseen unavailability of a staff member.
If class enrolments are not enough to operate at a venue due to unforeseen drop-outs or client shuffling, we can also cancel the session mid-term.
Client Confidentiality and Privacy: Please note that Making Rainbows Pty Ltd do use images and photos taken during class on our Facebook Page and other media. This is only once full consent and permission of the parent/Guardian has been given, in writing via a signature form provided in class.
Trial Classes: A trial session may only be reserved pending enrolment numbers and availability. Trial spaces are not considered as ‘secure’ and if a full term client wants to enrol for the full term in the interim, they will receive priority. Trial spaces cannot be guaranteed during long mid-term breaks (during the 6 week holiday between December until January), as spaces fill fast and clients wishing to enrol for a full term enrolment will receive priority.
Sensory items & allergies: Examples of sensory items used in class i.e Oates, non-toxic glues, food colouring, synthetic hay and grass etc are sometimes used. Please let the teacher know if your child has any specific allergies. Making Rainbows Pty Ltd takes no responsibility for personal loss or injury sustained during the session. We also ask that parent’s refrain from consuming nuts within the confines of the classroom and while other children are present. You remain responsible for the safety of yourself and your child/ren, relinquishing Making Rainbows Pty Ltd of any liability.
Abusive Behaviour: Should a client exhibit any behaviour that may be considered as intimidating, threatening or offensive, whether this be over the phone, in class, towards a teacher or another client, their enrolment will be forfeited immediately and a life-time ban from Making Rainbows implemented. We will not tolerate any aggressive language, raising of voice or disrespect to our colleagues or clients.
Facilitator / Teacher Venue Shuffling: We reserve the right, when necessary to shuffle the Facilitator/Teachers into other venues when required with no notice.

Please make sure you have at least two metres clear space around you, that the floor is clear of any objects or spills, and the surface is appropriate. Where possible, ensure webcams are in a communal space like a living room – rather than a bedroom.
Ensure you have the volume set high so that you can hear the instructions. If possible be lit from in front rather than behind, e.g. close curtains if dancing in front of a window. Make sure your device isn’t in danger of being knocked.
Facebook LIVE Classes – Your sound will be off when you join. You will be able to hear your teacher, but they will not be able to hear you. Your teacher will decide when to bring your sound on. If you have a question, please type a message via your device
If a movement or action causes sharp or sudden pain, stop immediately, apply first aid or seek help from your parents. Advise your teacher as soon as possible. Because of the online format your actions (especially for pre-recorded material) are unsupervised by your teacher so please make your own judgements, as you know your own body better than anyone.
Have any pets or young siblings in another space to avoid sudden tripping hazards.
The use of any information provided in these online classes is solely at the risk of the participant. By continuing to utilise online classes, participants affirm that they are in good physical condition, and no restrictions have been placed upon them for participating in dance, or movement
If the supervising teacher deems it unsafe for a client to participate in the class, they must withdraw from it immediately and contact a medical professional.
Clients may need to re-arrange a space to allow maximum movement.
If the teacher deems the client’s space unsafe they will be privately contacted and asked to cease dancing until a safe space can be identified and utilized.
Making Rainbows Pty Ltd will continue to implement all safeguarding policies that apply to dance class participants be it in person or online, as well as reporting an incident witnessed if required. Scenarios to report might include:
A child inappropriately dressed, or in a state of undress on camera
A client that makes inappropriate comments on camera or who makes a disclosure on camera
Anything else you might witness that raises concerns regarding abuse (including, but not limited to: the behaviour of another individual in the home that is witnessed on camera, something you can see in the room that raises a safeguarding concern such as drug paraphernalia)
