Refunds
Where there is a need to refund fees due to cancellation by the applicant:
- Refunds for the fees paid for the current season will be calculated as per the percentages nominated in Table 1.
- A written request for a refund must be received with the applicable stickers. The date of any applicable refund will be based on the date these are received by the Rottnest Island Authority.
- Refunds will only be approved with the return of all current vessel’s licensee, authorised user or annual admission adhesive stickers for the season. In some circumstances, a signed statutory declaration may be required if the adhesive sticker has been destroyed.
- Refunds will be processed to the credit card initially used to make payment, or by cheque upon request. Under no circumstances will cash be issued.
Table 1: Percentage of refund applicable for specific purposes based the date cancellation request and return of stickers, and on extent of the elapsed time period as below:
