Conditions of Enrolment in Respect to Illness and Preventable Disease

NIDA has developed a comprehensive set of regulations that aim to minimize the risk of exposing participants, staff, or visitors to communicable illnesses when at NIDA venues. By enrolling in and/or attending a course, participants agree to be bound by these conditions.

Illness and Class Attendance

  • If a participant is unwell or cannot attend the class for medical reasons, they can be transferred to another class date:
    • On receipt of a doctor’s certificate.
    • If no doctor’s certificate is provided, the standard Cancellations and Transfers conditions (see above) will apply.

Copyright

  • Participants are not permitted to record any part, audio or visual, of their NIDA Corporate Training course. Any written material must not be reproduced without the prior written consent of NIDA. Doing so is in breach of NIDA’s copyright, which is protected by law.
  • NIDA may record this class for quality, safety, and training purposes, including the ongoing training of enrolled participants. All images and recordings are stored securely in NIDA digital storage. By enrolling in this class, you agree to be recorded for these express purposes. NIDA will not distribute or otherwise use this recording for anything other than the aforementioned purposes without your written, express permission. For more information on your privacy at NIDA, see NIDA’s privacy policy.

Safety, wellbeing, and inclusion

  • NIDA takes seriously its commitment to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment, free from bullying, discrimination, or harassment. We do not tolerate or condone actions of anyone – participants, staff, or visitors – that constitute bullying and harassment towards anyone engaging with NIDA and its associated activities. NIDA complies with all laws and regulations associated with these matters.
  • Bullying refers to behavior where any person, directly or indirectly, repeatedly behaves (words or actions) unreasonably towards a person or group of people to cause distress and that behavior creates a risk to health and safety or hinders that person’s ability to attend a NIDA venue or participate in NIDA activities.
  • Harassment refers to behavior when any person – participant, staff, or visitor – causes another person to feel belittled, intimidated, offended, apprehensive, or singled out.
  • If a participant, staff person, or visitor is accused of bullying or harassment, NIDA Corporate Training management will investigate the situation and consult with all parties. In the event that the investigation is ongoing but unresolved, it may be deemed necessary to temporarily restrict attendance to a class or NIDA venue as a precautionary measure.
  • Any person who is found to have either committed or condoned discrimination, bullying, or harassment may be removed permanently or restricted from attending NIDA activities or venues.
  • NIDA Corporate Training reserves the right to temporarily or permanently exclude a participant from enrolment in classes or restrict their access to NIDA facilities based on behavior that contravenes any of the terms and conditions of enrolment.

NIDA acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we learn and tell stories, the Bidjigal, Gadigal, Dharawal and Dharug peoples, and we pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present.
