You can also enrol by mail. Click here to download an enrolment form. Simply fill out the form, attach payment and post to the address below. Please note, however, that a course may be sold out by the time your enrolment reaches us. For a guarenteed place, the Centre advises enrolling by phone or online.

Cheques and Money Orders

Enrolments by cheque or money order can only be taken by phone. Call the Centre on 9555 9757 to secure your place. However, please be aware that the NSW Writers’ Centre will only hold a place for you one week after the booking date. If cheque, money order or cash is not received by this date, the student’s place in the course is no longer guaranteed. Cheques must be received no later than the Monday before the course starts.

Concession Prices

Concessions are available only to members who hold a valid Seniors, Pension or full-time Student card.

Students who are unable to pay their course fee as one sum may be eligible to pay for payment by instalment. Contact the Centre office on (02) 9555 9757 for more information.

Food and Drink

The NSW Writers’ Centre provides tea and coffee making facilities. Course participants are advised to bring their own lunch as there are no cafes within close walking distance.

Course Location

Unless otherwise stated, all our courses are held at the NSW Writers’ Centre in Rozelle. For directions to the Centre, including transport information, click here. When you arrive at the Centre, there will be a sign directing you to your room.

Under 18s

Please note, students under 18 wishing to participate in any course (except HSC English Extension 2 or Teen Writers Get Serious!) must provide the Centre with three weeks’ notice.

Refund Policy

Please choose your course carefully. Once your enrolment has been processed we cannot refund (either in full or part of) your course fee. We cannot accept responsibility for changes in your work or personal commitments that prevent your attendance.

In the event that you should wish to withdraw from a course, you must inform the NSW Writers’ Centre at least fourteen days in advance of course commencement to receive a full credit. Withdrawals with at least seven days prior to course commencement will be eligible for a 50% credit.

If the Centre cancels or withdraws a course for whatever reason, you can choose to either receive a credit or be refunded in full.

Advertised Dates and Times

Advertised dates and times or speakers of courses may change or be cancelled without warning. If this is the case, all reasonable attempts will be made to contact you via email and telephone. However, confirmation of starting time remains the responsibility of the student.
