You may opt to pay your membership fees monthly (whereby you are deducted ongoing monthly fees), or annually (whereby you pay an annual upfront, discount fee). By choosing to pay monthly, you agree to abide by the minimum 12-month membership term applicable to all monthly memberships (unless stated otherwise, see the ‘Events and Promotions’ section below).
Unless a cancellation request has been provided in writing (see the ‘Cancellation of Membership’ section below), your monthly or annual membership will be renewed automatically at the expiry of your monthly or annual billing cycle. Annual members due for renewal will be sent email reminders prior to the renewal date.
MHA Credential Courses are in-depth training programs led by subject-matter experts. Each Credential Course requires an individual enrolment process and course fee separate to MHA membership (MHA financial members are able to access discounted rates). Specific details, dates and content for Credential Courses are included in the course’s information/enrolment page.
Your registration to MHA Credential Courses gives you the right to access and use the activities, content and tools provided with the course. You are not permitted to share this information/resources with others. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in cancellation of your enrolment.

Unless stated otherwise (see the ‘Special Offers’ section below), the associated cost of a Monthly Membership is for the full duration of the minimum term (i.e. 12 months). Cancellations received within the minimum term period will accrue a cancellation fee equal to the unpaid portion of the minimum term. For example, a cancellation received 3 months prior to the end of the membership period will accrue a cancellation fee of 3 times the monthly membership fee. The cancellation fee will be applied automatically upon processing of cancellation to the account’s registered credit card.
*Self-service cancellation is only available for members who have completed their minimum membership term requirements. Cancellation requests within minimum term periods must be submitted via email.

Requests for cancellation of Mental Health Academy membership outside of the 30-day guarantee period are processed in accord with the terms stated in the “Cancellation of Membership” section above.
This policy applies irrespective of whether or not you have logged on to your member dashboard and utilised membership resources. Refunds may be provided in special circumstances in accord with relevant consumer law.

Members who enrol in an MHA Credential Course may request cancellation and a full refund of monies paid within 14 days of the initial enrolment and before completion of the first module in their course (participants who have successfully completed all assessments in the first module of their course will no longer be eligible for a refund).
