We understand that things change, therefore, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment please call us. We can help you reschedule your appointment. However, patients that habitually Did Not Attend (DNA) their appointments can impede our ability to provide quality care. From 1/6/2019, our medical centre has introduced a DNA Policy where patients that miss three appointments can be invoiced a fee of $30.
Please review our full DNA Policy by downloading a copy or asking for a copy from our reception team.
