3. Lesson Fees/Payment System

Lesson fees are payable in advance and only current, paid
members can attend classes. A position in a class is not held
without payment.

Group Lessons: $22.00 lesson

Private Lessons: $70.00 lesson

The fee structure is calculated on a ‘cost per lesson’ basis. Payment is made monthly in advance via direct debit. A security deposit equivalent of up to two (2) weeks of lesson fees ($22.00 AMOUNT) may be charged, so that lessons are always paid in advance.

Direct debit payments at JUMP! MELTON SOUTH are processed on the 1st of each month.

- Please note any additional fees that are indicated on the form,
including fees for declined debits
- A deduction will be made monthly from your nominated bank
account or credit card on the noted date
- The Direct Debit amounts payable may differ depending on how many lessons there are in the period you are being charged
for. For example, if charged monthly there may be four or five lessons in that month
- Membership is ongoing and debits will continue until a completed cancellation form is received by JUMP! at least two (2) weeks before the end of the month. If we do not receive the form on time, the following month of lessons will be charged
- When commencing lessons mid-month, you will be charged upfront for the remaining lessons in the month to align with the direct debit processing dates, along with the Membership Fee and security deposit if applicable
- A security deposit equivalent to up to two (2) weeks’ lessons ($44.00) may be charged with the upfront payment for the remainder of the month. Upon the customer providing the required two (2) weeks’ notice of cancellation, these lessons can then be utilised
