ATTENDANCE POLICY
Additional Information
Consistent attendance at appointments is part of helping you achieve your goals. Your psychologist spends a substantial amount of time preparing for your appointment to ensure the best possible outcomes for you.
We ask that you only make appointments that you intend to keep. When you book, the session time is set aside and the fee attached to that session will also be yours, whether or not you choose to attend. If you do not attend, it is not possible to apply the Medicare rebate and the entire session fee will be charged.
If the appointment time is no longer suitable, it is important to let us know as soon as possible. To avoid paying the session fee you will need to let Admin know 24 business hours prior to your appointment. If your appointment is on a Monday, this means providing notice on the Friday before.
Alternatives to attending in person:
i) You can change your appointment to an online or telehealth session, or
ii) You can request that your psychologist use this time to write a report to a third party, fill in a form, or complete some research on your behalf.
If you suspect you/your child will be too unwell to attend your session the following day, then please err on the side of caution and reschedule your appointment, with more than 24 business hours notice.
If your appointment can be filled with another client on the waitlist, you will not be charged the session fee.
