Cancellations
We understand that sometimes cancellations must occur last minute. We do appreciate at least 24 hours notice of cancellations, so we can accommodate other patients who may require an appointment.
If you cancel less than 2 hours before your appointment time, a non-attendance fee may apply.
Non-attendance Fee
This practice has a ‘Did Not Attend Appointment Policy’. A patient who fails to attend an appointment without notice will be charged a $40 fee.
Referred Costs
From time to time you may be referred to outside agencies for tests, investigations or specialist opinion. Please note that you are responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred as part of this referral. It is advisable to contact the external provider to find out their fee prior to your appointment.
