About The Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales

The Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales (AISNSW) is the peak body representing independent schools across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Based in Sydney, AISNSW provides advocacy, professional learning, consultancy, compliance guidance, and support services to school boards, principals, and staff in areas such as curriculum, governance, finance, student wellbeing, disability support, and regulatory requirements. It operates as a membership-based, not‑for‑profit organisation, and most financial transactions are with member schools, education professionals, or organisations engaging AISNSW for training or consultancy.

A charge from “The Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales”, “AISNSW”, “AIS NSW”, or similar wording may appear on a bank or card statement when a school or staff member pays for professional learning courses, conferences, workshops, consultancy services, or membership-related fees. Charges can be one‑off (for a single event, training course, or resource), recurring (for annual membership or ongoing service agreements), or part of a scheduled program (e.g. multi‑session courses billed upfront). In some cases, you may see a pending or temporary authorisation when a card is used to secure a booking, which later converts to a final charge once the booking is confirmed or the event takes place.

To verify or resolve questions about an AISNSW charge, first check with your school’s business manager, accounts department, or the staff member who holds the card, as payments are often made centrally on behalf of staff. Look for registration emails, tax invoices, or booking confirmations from aisnsw.edu.au corresponding to the date and amount of the charge. If you still can’t identify it, you can contact AISNSW via the contact details on their website (aisnsw.edu.au) or through the “Contact Us” form, providing the transaction date, amount, and the name on the card; their finance or events team can confirm what the payment relates to, resend invoices, help correct billing errors, or advise on refunds and cancellations in line with their event and service policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why has my school credit card been charged by The Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales (AISNSW)?

Most AISNSW charges relate to professional learning registrations, conferences, short courses, or consultancy services booked for school staff. The payment is often processed centrally by a school’s accounts or HR/professional learning team on a corporate or school credit card. Check your internal PD or training approvals, staff development calendars, and any AISNSW registration confirmations that match the date and amount of the charge.

What are the common amounts AISNSW charges for professional learning and events?

AISNSW fees vary depending on the type and length of the program, with short workshops typically being less expensive than multi‑day conferences or extended courses. Charges often correspond to a per‑person registration fee (sometimes with member and non‑member rates) plus GST, and you may see multiple registrations combined into a single payment if they were processed together. For exact pricing, refer to the specific course or event page on aisnsw.edu.au or the tax invoice attached to your confirmation email.

Could this AISNSW charge be for a recurring or annual fee?

Yes. Some AISNSW transactions are annual or periodic, such as membership-related fees, subscription-based services, or ongoing consultancy or support programs arranged at a school level. These are usually invoiced to the school and may be settled by card if your finance team chose that payment method. If the amount recurs around the same time each year or term, check your school’s agreements with AISNSW and any service contracts or annual membership notices.

How do we cancel or change a registration that has already been paid to AISNSW?

To cancel or amend a registration, your school should follow the event’s specific cancellation policy listed on the AISNSW course or conference page and in the confirmation email. Typically, changes must be requested in writing (usually via email) within the stated timeframe before the event to avoid full charges or to be eligible for a transfer or credit. Contact the AISNSW events or professional learning team using the details provided in your registration confirmation, and have your booking reference or invoice number ready.

How can we request a refund or credit for an AISNSW charge?

Refunds or credits are handled according to AISNSW’s event and service terms, which may differ between workshops, conferences, and consultancy arrangements. In many cases, if you cancel within the permitted window or if AISNSW cancels or substantially changes an event, you may be offered a refund, transfer to another date, or a credit note to the school. To request this, email the contact listed on your invoice or confirmation (usually an events or accounts email at aisnsw.edu.au) with the transaction details, reason for the request, and your school’s information.

Why do I see a pending or temporary AISNSW charge on our bank statement?

A pending AISNSW charge can appear when a card is used to secure an event registration or to pay an invoice online, and the bank has placed an authorisation hold. This amount typically converts to a final posted transaction once AISNSW’s payment gateway completes processing. If a transaction is declined or cancelled at checkout, the authorisation hold should drop off automatically according to your bank’s timeframes; if it remains for an extended period, contact your bank for clarification and AISNSW only if the payment has been confirmed at their end.

How can I get a copy of the invoice or receipt for an AISNSW payment?

Invoices and tax receipts are usually emailed automatically to the contact listed in the registration or to your school’s accounts email when payment is made. If you can’t find the document, check your spam or junk folder for messages from aisnsw.edu.au, then cross‑check with your school’s finance office. You can also request a duplicate invoice or receipt by contacting AISNSW via their website contact form or finance/accounts email, providing the date, amount, and the name of your school.

How do we contact AISNSW about a charge we don’t recognise?

Visit aisnsw.edu.au and use the “Contact Us” section to find phone and email details for general enquiries or finance/accounts. When you reach out, include the last four digits of the card used, the exact transaction amount, transaction date, and your school’s name so they can quickly locate the payment. For charges linked to events or courses, providing the name of the staff member who may have registered will also help AISNSW identify and explain the transaction.
