After getting into contact with the practice, they advised me that there would be charge for the cancellation of that appointment, even after explaining my unpredictable work commitments this time of year as I am a health professional. The clinic was not understanding at all and have charged me the cancellation of that appointment ($122.50). I have been a regular

Report
Very unimpressed with this business. And that's all it is to them, a business. Over the course of 7 appointments they cancelled my sons appointment 5 times, once on the day of because the psych was sick which was very upsetting for him but I was understanding that it couldn't be helped, when I was sick with gastro and rang to reschedule they wanted to charge me a cancellation fee. Now he has to have a telehealth appointment, he's 8 and hates talking on the phone. Pure profiteering and double standards. Will not be continuing therapy with these robbers. Update- since posting this review they contacted
