Late Cancellation Fees

• Due to the high demand for Psychology Services, we require 24 hours notice of cancellation (or, for Monday appointments, please let us know before close of business on Fridays). If this notice is not provided and the appointment time can not be filled from our waitlist, a 75% charge of the full fee will be applied ($204). In the event that you fail to attend a scheduled appointment, the full clinical fee will be applied ($272). 

• Medicare and private health rebates can not be applied to cancellation/no show fees.
