We know life happens and sometimes you need to cancel or reschedule. We have a cancellation policy for all appointments that requires 48 business hours notice in order to avoid a penalty. We strictly adhere to this out of respect to our psychologists and clients. If you are unable to attend your appointment, providing advanced notice allows us to offer your time slot to another client on the psychologist’s waiting list. This enables us to deliver a fair and consistent quality of service to everyone.
Cancellation Policy for Initial Appointments:
If you cannot attend your scheduled initial appointment for any reason, please provide at least 48 business hours notice. If your initial appointment is cancelled with less than the 48 business hours notice or you do not attend your appointment on the day, you will be required to pay a deposit of 50% of the session fee, if you wish to book any further appointments or to attend the next pre scheduled appointment. This deposit will be deducted from the initial session fee but is not refundable if you do not attend for your appointment or cancel within 48 business hours.
How to cancel or reschedule your appointment?
To avoid a cancellation fee, please let our admin team know at least two business days (48 business hours) before your appointment day. Calling 9651 1877, leaving a voicemail, or emailing our admin team (admin@duralpsychology.com.au) with your appointment details and request to cancel is the most effective way to ensure we receive your cancellation notice. When you reply “NO” to the SMS reminder message sent within 24 hours to cancel, that would already mean that your opportunity to reschedule or cancel without penalty has already expired. If your appointment is on a Monday, you will be required to cancel on the Thursday prior to your appointment. If your appointment is on a Tuesday, you will be required to cancel on the Friday prior to your appointment.
**Please note the SMS reminder service is a courtesy tool only, we recommend writing down your appointments as not receiving the sms reminder will not void a cancellation fee.
