Payment
- Discount for returning Sar-El volunteers within 12 months
- Payment is NON-REFUNDABLE and includes payment for the t-shirt. Please note that payment for the Australian application and registration fee is a processing fee and not a factor in determining an applicant's approval or rejection. The processing fee is a prerequisite for an application to be assessed and is non-refundable, regardless of the applicant's approval or rejection.
- Later you will have to also pay a direct fee to Sar-El Israel for the Program Fee (they refer to it as a "donation")
- For safety, security and scrutiny, only online payments are accepted. Direct internet banking is not an option.
