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 policy.
Weekends
As we have limited appointments available on weekends, a $70 non-rebateable fee applys for all missed appointments on weekends.
