ADMIN COMMUNICATION

Admin Comms
Standard Communication

​

The DLSA administration team is responsible for keeping you up-to-date with everything that is going on with your booking and account details. With more than 1,300 families and more than 2,000 individual bookings, our team work hard to provide quality customer service, especially communication. 

​

We use emails, text messages, social media messaging and phone calls as standard communication procedure. It is very important that we have your most up-to-date contact information so that we can keep you up-to-date. To contact our administration team by email, please use admin@dlsa.com.au.

​

We will endeavour to respond to phone messages and/or email messages on the same day in which they are received, before the end of the business day. Our preferred method of communication is via the phone or email. Using social media to send messages to our administration team is not recommended as they do not have access to replying to personal messages through our social media pages. While we may send a text message to customers regarding bookings or account information, our administration team can't receive text messages as a form of communication, as this form of communication is done through an automated, secure service.

​

Rollover Complete

​

Just after the half way point in the current program of lessons, you will receive your Rollover Complete notification. This means any bookings you have with DLSA have been automatically rolled over to the next program. The benefits of our roll over system mean less time wasted at the front counter trying to rebook and easily maintain your preferred time or teacher. It is imperative that if you do not wish to continue your booking in the next program, you will need to complete a Deferral Form.

​

Usually by week 7 of a program, we will perform the booking Roll Over (RO). As per our Perpetual Program System, all bookings enrolled in the current program will automatically be rolled over to the next program. This saves you time trying to rebook, getting in before you lose your most preferred class/time/teacher. You will receive three booking confirmation emails. The first email will be sent at the time of the Roll Over. This will also signal the availability of the Pre-Payment Discount, which is our most discounted lesson rate. A second email will be sent out a week before the Pre-Payment Discount ends. A third will be sent out just before the new program begins.

​

 

Unpaid Accounts

​

During the week leading into the end of the Pre-Payment Discount period, we will send a Family Account Update to all families who have not already finalised their fees for the upcoming program. If there is a problem with your account and/or you have a problem with a payment, please contact our friendly administration team to discuss our family friendly options. Once the new program has commenced, we will automate the following communication:

​

Week 1 - Account Update email to all outstanding accounts (albeit not overdue).

Week 3 - Account Update email to all outstanding accounts (albeit not overdue).

Week 5 - Account Update email to all outstanding accounts (now overdue).

Week 6 - Account Update phone call and email to all outstanding accounts (now overdue).

Week 7 - Account Update phone call, email and text to all outstanding accounts (now overdue).

Week 8 - Account Update phone call, email and text to all outstanding accounts (now overdue and due for lesson suspension).

Week 9 - Account Update phone call, email and text to all outstanding accounts (now overdue and lesson has been suspended).

Week 10 - Account Update phone call, email and text to all outstanding accounts (now overdue and lesson has been suspended).

Week 11 - Account Update phone call, email and text to all outstanding accounts (now overdue and lesson suspended).

OUR POLICIES

​
Policies are important, they help with communication. We work hard to be 100% transparent with our policies so that there can be no confusion. We understand that there is a bit of reading her, but take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with our policies. These policies can also be viewed at any time in our Customer nPortal or Smartphone App.

 

Make Up Policy

All booked lessons are payable, regardless of attendance.

If you miss a class through sickness, unavailability or a public holiday closure, you can attend a free Make-Up Class in accordance with the DLSA Make-Up Policy subject to the following conditions:

  • Notification of non-attendance must be received at least 1 hour prior to the missed lesson. This enables us to make that spot available for other families looking for make-up opportunities.

  • Make-ups are made subject to availability.

  • No more than four make-ups per child can be accrued at any one time.

  • Make-ups can only be used in a program in conjunction with an active booking.

  • If you are unable to attend any make-ups, a $4 credit per make-up will be placed on your account (maximum four make-ups per child).

  • Make-ups must be finalised within eight weeks of being accrued unless a prolonged sickness or injury supported by a doctor’s certificate prohibits the make-ups being done within the eight weeks.

  • Please note that make-ups are made in classes where space is available. If that particular class receives a standard booking your make-up will need to be re-scheduled.

  • A maximum of four of any make-ups still owing at the completion of the program can be carried to the next program to be used as make-ups. These make-ups can only be booked from Week Three onwards and must be completed by Week Six of the new program.

No refunds for classes missed through sickness, unavailability or a public holiday closure, instead a make-up class will be provided.
