We understand life happens and sometimes you need to cancel your appointment with us. If that happens we ask that you provide us with a minimum of 6 hours notice.
You can cancel your appointment by either contacting us via phone on 3349 1554 or via the appointment cancellation link in your reminder sms/email. Please note this link will only work for cancellations with a minimum of 6 hours notice.
If you cancel with less than 6 hours notice or you fail to attend your appointment you may be charged a fee of $25.
Late attendance may result in your appointment time being cut short so as not to impact on other patient’s appointment times and the full appointment fee may still be payable.
