FAQs

Are group workshops right for me?

Our group workshops are perfect for those looking to build their relationship skills in a safe, supportive and collaborative group environment, led by our expert facilitators. We cover a huge range of topics, from parenting techniques to developing mental wellbeing practices – and offer groups throughout the year, both online and face-to-face.

What happens if I am unable to attend one of the workshop’s sessions?

If you’re unable to attend a session, please contact our client services team by calling 1300 364 277 or emailing us, and we will let your Group Leaders know. Please note – for those who’ve been court-ordered to attend one of our group programs (such as our Men’s Behaviour Change program), participants must attend at least 80% of the workshop’s scheduled sessions in order to receive a statement of attendance.

How do I cancel or reschedule the group assessment appointment?

To cancel or reschedule your phone session, please contact us by email. If you miss the appointment and don’t reach out within four weeks, you will be removed from the waitlist.

What happens if I miss the group assessment appointment?

If you miss your phone appointment, please contact us at groups@ransw.org.au to reschedule. If we don’t hear from you within four weeks, your name will be removed from the waitlist.

How much do group programs cost?

Fees are discussed during the group assessment session and vary based on program length and your income. We strive to make our services accessible, and fees can be waived for clients facing financial hardship. Full fee waivers are also available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.

Can I get a refund?

Group program payments are non-refundable if you decide not to attend or wish to reschedule. However, if we cancel the group, a full refund will be provided.

Can I enrol my client in a group?

We do not accept third-party enrolments. Please encourage your client to contact us directly at groups@ransw.org.au or by calling 1300 364 277 to discuss our services.

What is the wait time to start a group program?

Currently, our clients may wait up to 8 weeks for an assessment to determine service suitability. After the assessment, there is an additional 3–6-month wait to start a group program. While we recognise this is not ideal, we are committed to offering the best service possible within our capacity at this time.

When do group programs start?

Our group programs generally run during NSW public school terms. Clients on the waitlist will be offered a spot based on their position, with the scheduled program dates and times provided upon availability.

Payment is required in full to confirm your enrolment. Payment instructions will be provided once you email your acceptance of a spot in the group.
