Cautions for Processing: Things Can Go Wrong in the Transit

There are a number of practical hints that will minimise the chances of your processing going astray: 
 
USE A RETURN ADDRESS:  Please make sure that your return address is on the back of the envelope in which you send us the couple's answer sheets.  If the material fails to reach us, and goes somewhere else, a "return to sender" label will ensure that you will get the material back. 

TELL US IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PROCESSING: If you have not received the report from us after a reasonable period of time (say, two weeks) please contact us on (02) 9545 4566.  Sometimes we receive answer sheets that do not include the administrator's usercode and there is no sender address on the envelope - so we have no idea who has sent this to us until they call us. 

MAKE SURE THE COUPLE DETAILS ARE COMPLETED: Remember to make sure that the couple’s details, as well as your own details, have been completed on the couple's answer sheets. 

KEEP YOUR ADDRESS DETAILS UP TO DATE: Remember to inform us of any change of address - we send the report to the address we have for you on our database, so please make sure you keep our database up to date in all respects. 

FINALLY, make sure you send the answer sheets to the correct address:

News Update:  

    The June 2006 issue of the Newsletter, the Prepare Diary, is available on this web site: To read, click on: June 2006 Diary    The next newsletter will be posted in mid-December. 

    PROCESSING FEE WAS INCREASED FROM FEBRUARY 1st 2006  
    As announced in the December 2005 Newsletter, we have reluctantly increased the cost of processing to $44 (including GST) from February 1st next year. This is the first increase in the base cost of processing since 1999.  The $35 processing charge was set then and the GST added to this in June 2000, taking the GST inclusive charge to $38.50. Between June 1999 and June 2005, our net costs have increased by almost 15% due to constant increases in the expenses associated largely with wages, printing and postage. Our aim is to maintain the new processing charge for a lengthy period of time (as we have done before). We always aimed to make the processing cost comparable to that of a modest meal for a couple – we feel sure that $44 (for a couple) is still well and truly within those limits.
