Cancellation and Non-Attendance
If an appointment is missed or cancelled at late-notice, patients may receive a non-attendance letter or SMS.
Providing notice allows us to offer your appointment to another patient who may need to see a doctor more urgently. When a patient does not show for a scheduled appointment it means that another patient loses an opportunity to be seen. In an attempt to avoid this we have a non-attendance fee policy.
Weekends
As we have limited appointments available on weekends, a $70 non-rebateable fee applys for all missed appointments on weekends.
Weekdays
GP appointments - $60
- A repeated non-attendance.
- A repeated cancellation within 3 hours prior to appointment time.
Allied Health & Specialist appointments - $100
- A repeated non-attendance.
- A repeated cancellation within 24 hours prior to appointment time.
Warragul Skin Cancer Clinic
All missed appointments or those cancelled at less than 24 hours notice will attract a fee of $100, which is not claimable through Medicare.
