The school will begin operating in 2018, shortly after reaching a minimum of 200 members. Instead of tuition fees, the school has a membership, which consists of a one-time payment of AU$10,000, and grants access to the school for as long as the school will operate, which is committed to be a minimum of two years. Fees are non-refundable, but are transferable for up to two years from the date of the payment. The membership fee will be spent entirely on school expenses such as raw materials for the courses, equipment, operating essentials, etc, so no profit will be made from membership fees (the school is a non-profit organisation). The school will continue to operate for as long as there's sufficient participation, and in the event of closure, proceeds from sales of land and goods will be refunded to current participants evenly and proportional to the promised minimum 2-year term, and any remaining monies will be donated to charity. | The school will begin operating in 2018, shortly after reaching a minimum of 200 members.
