Refund policy
Last updated: 1 September 2026
Plain terms on when we refund, how pro-rata refunds work, and what our revision and resubmission support covers.
Before work begins
If you cancel before we have begun drafting, you receive a full refund, no questions asked.
After work begins
Once drafting has started, refunds are calculated pro rata against the work completed and delivered to you at the point of cancellation. For a three-episode CDR, that generally means:
| Stage reached | Refund |
|---|---|
| Consultation only, no drafting | 100% |
| Technical interview held, no draft delivered | 85% |
| One episode delivered | 60% |
| Two episodes delivered | 35% |
| Full draft delivered | No refund; revisions continue |
Revisions
Revisions are unlimited and included in the price of every complete report. We do not charge per round. Dissatisfaction with a draft is a reason to request a revision, not a basis for a refund, until the revision process has run its course.
If your assessment outcome is negative
If a report we wrote receives a negative or deferred outcome on competency or content grounds, we revise the report and support one resubmission at no charge. This applies where the report was submitted substantially as delivered.
It does not apply where the outcome results from matters outside the report — for example an ineligible qualification, insufficient or unverifiable employment evidence, an English test result below the required level, a wrong occupation nominated against our written advice, or information later found to be inaccurate.
Assessing authority fees
Fees paid to Engineers Australia, the ACS or Engineering New Zealand are paid by you directly to them and are outside our control. We cannot refund them, which is why we recommend a pre-submission review.
How to request a refund
Email [email protected] with your project reference. We respond within five business days and process approved refunds to the original payment method within ten business days.
