Consultation late cancellation policy
Effective as of 27/03/2024 We require at least 24 business hours notice for rescheduling and cancelling of appointments. We do not check communications over the weekend.​ Less than 24 hours notice results in a late cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the consultation. Less than 4 hours notice results in a late cancellation fee of the full cost of consultation. ​If later than 1/3 of the duration of the consult then clients will also be required to pay for the cost of the consultation. Circumstances in which the fee is waived is when there is an emergency such as a car accident, or when someone starts to become unwell on the day of the consultation. Scheduling issues, traffic, being stuck in other appointments are not accepted as reasons to miss an appointment. Please remember that when appointments are missed, our practitioners are not able to do their jobs. Furthermore, other patients are unable to access services at the time that was missed. Our business is not financially viable by waiving fees every time someone misses an appointment, in much the same way an airline or music festival wouldn't be viable if they allowed for refunds to those who missed the event. Therefore, when reflecting on the implications of a late cancellation fee, please consider the impact on our practitioners time, the patients that are waiting for appointments and the financial costs.
