These Terms of Service ("Terms") are between The Fifo Trainer Pty Ltd (ABN 98 694 059 759; ACN 694 059 759) ("we", "us", "our", "The Fifo Trainer") and any person or entity ("you", "participant", "client") who accesses our website at thefifotrainerpty.site, submits an enquiry, or enrols in any training program, course, or service we offer.
By accessing our website or enrolling in any of our courses, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our website or enrol in our training programs.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia and the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) as set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
2. Description of Services
The Fifo Trainer Pty Ltd provides vocational training, safety compliance courses, site induction programs, and related workforce readiness services directed at workers engaged in, or seeking employment in, fly-in fly-out (FIFO) roles in Western Australia's mining and resources sector.
Our services include, but are not limited to: white card (CPCWHS1001) training, hazard identification and risk control, first aid, fatigue management, FIFO wellbeing, WHS compliance, and site induction programs. The specific terms of any particular course or program are as communicated to you at the time of enrolment.
3. Enrolment and Eligibility
To enrol in a training program, you must:
- Be at least 16 years of age, or have parental or guardian consent if under 18;
- Meet any specific eligibility requirements specified for a particular course (e.g., language, literacy, and numeracy requirements for nationally accredited units);
- Provide accurate and complete information at the time of enrolment.
Enrolment is confirmed once we have accepted your enrolment application and received any applicable fees. We reserve the right to decline an enrolment at our reasonable discretion.
4. Fees and Payment
Course fees are as advised at the time of your enquiry or enrolment. All fees are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.
Payment terms are as agreed between the parties at the time of enrolment. Where fees are not paid in accordance with the agreed terms, we reserve the right to withhold certification and training records until outstanding amounts are settled.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law with respect to refunds, including where services are not provided with due care and skill or are not fit for purpose.
5. Cancellation and Refunds
You may cancel your enrolment by contacting us at ceo@thefifotrainerpty.site. Cancellation and refund terms are as follows:
- Cancellations made more than 5 business days before the scheduled course commencement will receive a full refund of fees paid;
- Cancellations made within 5 business days of the scheduled commencement may be subject to an administration fee;
- No-shows or withdrawals after course commencement are generally non-refundable, except where we are at fault or where the Australian Consumer Law entitles you to a remedy.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a course due to insufficient enrolments, instructor unavailability, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, affected participants will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no additional cost.
Nothing in this section limits any consumer guarantees or rights to remedies available to you under the Australian Consumer Law.

We reserve the right to remove a participant from a course for serious or repeated breaches of these obligations, without refund of fees, where the conduct is sufficiently serious to justify removal.
7. Australian Consumer Law — Consumer Guarantees
Our training services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. These include guarantees that our services will be provided with due care and skill, be fit for the purpose for which they are commonly supplied, and be provided within a reasonable time.
