Life happens and we understand that you may need to cancel your appointment. Appointments require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for cancellation or rescheduling; late cancellations and non-attendance (no-shows) may incur the full session fee, however consideration may be given in cases of illness, particularly if an alternative appointment can be offered within the same week. 

Even when your sessions are part of a workers’ compensation claim, you’ll still be asked to provide your credit card details when booking. This is because coverage is subject to approval and review processes, and may not be confirmed at the time of your appointment. Providing card details simply allows the appointment to be secured, and ensures there is a backup method in place should sessions not be approved or if there are any delays in payment.
