Cancellation Policy 

We understand that sometimes plans need to change with short notice, and we want to ensure that our cancellation policy is fair and reflective of the impact on our clients and our psychologists' time. We require 48hours notice for cancelled or rescheduled sessions to avoid a cancellation fee.

​

Appointments cancelled between 48 and 24 hours prior to the scheduled session will incur a $100 cancellation fee.

 

Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the session, or in the case of failing to attend, the full session fee of $250 will be incurred.

 

Medicare rebates are not eligible for cancellation fees. 

​

We recognize that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but it's essential to consider the impact of last-minute cancellations on both other clients who may be waiting for sessions and the psychologist who has dedicated time to prepare. Your cooperation with our cancellation policy allows us to better serve all of our clients and maintain the quality of our services.

​

We understand that there may be circumstances where attending in person is not possible, which is why we offer Telehealth sessions as an alternative option, particularly if you are feeling unwell. If your child is unwell or too young to participate in telehealth, you could use this time to discuss intervention strategies to support your child.

 

Your well-being is important to us, and we want to ensure that you have access to the support you need in a way that works for you.
