Cancellation fees
If you are unable to attend an appointment, please contact me as far in advance as possible. This enables time to be able to offer that appointment to another person and time for that person to organise their schedule so they may attend.
Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than one business evening + one business day’s notice will incur a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is equivalent to 50% of the full consultation fee.
Late cancellations on the day of the appointment and non-attendance without prior notification incur a fee equivalent to the full consultation fee.
Please note Medicare and Private Health Funds do not cover cancellation fees / non-attendance fees.
