LATE CANCELLATION / NO SHOW POLICY
Changes and cancellations should be clearly communicated to our reception team well in advance of your scheduled appointment, during clinic opening hours. Replies to our SMS reminder outside of our normal opening hours will be considered as received on the next business day.
For cancellations within 2 business days of your appointment and non-attendance/no show, a $50 late cancellation fee applies. This fee is payable via credit card or direct deposit and is required for us to secure a new booking for you. As a goodwill gesture, we will apply this payment as a credit towards products or services at your next visit with us, if this is your first late cancellation or no show. Should a late cancellation or no show occur for the second time, the rebooking fee paid is forfeited. For patients with a repeated history of late cancellations or no shows, no credit will be applied.
If you have any questions regarding our clinic booking policies please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly reception team on (03) 9819 7695. Please kindly note that we do not wish to charge our patients late cancellation fees; please be respectful of us so we can extend the same courtesy to you.
