Effective Date 1st May 2026
DEPOSITS & SECURITY BOND
All tiered grazing tables and mimosa bar bookings require a $100 refundable security bond to secure your date. This bond is held as security only, is not applied toward the cost of your booking, and is not a booking payment. This bond must be paid via bank transfer or cash only and is not available via credit card.
The bond will be refunded via bank transfer within 48 hours of The Simple Grazer collecting all tableware and equipment, with a receipt of transfer provided.
Refund of the bond is strictly subject to the following conditions being met:
Failure to meet these conditions may result in partial or full retention of the bond to cover replacement or cleaning costs.
For grazing boxes and fuss-free grazing tables, a 50% deposit or $100 (whichever is smaller) is required to secure your booking. This deposit is non-refundable and is applied to your total booking value.
Deposits for grazing boxes and fuss-free grazing tables may be paid via bank transfer or cash. Credit card payment is available if required and will incur a 2.2% processing fee.
PAYMENT
Preferred method of payment is by bank transfer. Invoice balance is due 1 week before your event date. You are welcome to make smaller payments up until that date in instalments that suit you.
Cash is also accepted but must be paid in person by due date.
Credit Card payment is available for outstanding balances and will incur a 2.2% processing fee.
GST & PRICING
The Simple Grazer is currently not registered for GST and all pricing is quoted on a GST-free basis.
If GST registration becomes applicable at any time after your booking has been confirmed, GST (currently 10%) may be applied to the total value of your booking in accordance with ATO requirements.
Where a booking includes a refundable security bond, the bond remains GST-free at all times and is not included in the taxable value of the booking.
For grazing boxes and fuss-free grazing tables, any GST applicable will be applied to the total booking value, taking into account any deposits already received, and will be reflected on your final invoice. Deposits remain non-refundable and will form part of the total booking value for GST calculation purposes once GST registration applies.
All pricing adjustments required due to GST registration will be applied in a transparent manner and shown clearly on your final invoice.
