HYM CANCELLATION POLICY
Our goal is to provide a quality service to all our clients in a timely manner. No-shows, late arrivals, and cancellations inconvenience not only our providers, but our other clients as well. Please be aware of our policy regarding missed appointments.
Appointment Cancellation
When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on our calendar that is no longer available to our other clients. In order to be respectful of your fellow clients, please call HYM as soon as you know you will not be able to make your appointment.
If cancellation is necessary, we require that you call at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advanced notice will allow another client access to that appointment time.
If you cancel at least 48 hours in advance, the cancellation fee may not apply.
The cancellation fee will apply in the following circumstances.
-
If you cancel within 48 hours. (This applies to private clients)
-
NDIS clients are required to give 5 days' notice for cancellations (Based on NDIS guidelines)
-
You do not show up at all.
NDIS clients: If you have a Service Agreement in place, the cancelation process and fee will be included in the agreement.
If you don’t show up for your first appointment and do not provide a reason, we unfortunately cannot offer you another appointment time.
Please note that if you cancel within 48 hours on two subsequent occasions, we will need to have a discussion about whether our service is right for you. We will continue to monitor reasons for cancellations to ensure we can meet your needs and provide a quality service your child will benefit from. Multiple cancellations are concerning and will be flagged with HYM Manager for a review.
