Pricing

We want to keep our classes accessible to everyone, so we're trialing tiered pricing. There’s a supporter rate for those who can afford to pay a little extra to help others take part, a standard rate for waged participants, and a concession rate for unwaged or low-income community members. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know!

After making sure we've paid our tutors, and covered our operating costs, all our remaining profits go into providing free and low-cost activities for the Fawkner community.
