SASHC is required to collect and record personal information about you /your child in order to provide quality allied health services. This may include assessing, diagnosing and providing therapy. This information is relevant to your/your child’s situation, such as your/your child’s name, contact information, medical history and other relevant information as part of providing services to you. This collection of personal information will be a necessary part of the assessment and/or treatment that is conducted.

Purpose of Collecting and Holding Information

All personal information gathered as part of your/your child’s assessment and treatment, is kept securely. In the interest of your/your child’s privacy this information is only used by your/your child’s therapist/s and authorised SASHC staff . Your personal information is retained for record keeping purposes and enables your/your child’s therapist to provide a relevant and informed service to you/your child. A more detailed description is provided in the SASHC“Privacy Policy”. This policy is available to you on request.

At any stage you are entitled to access your/your child’s personal information kept on file, subject to exceptions in the relevant legislation. SASHC will discuss with you your different possible forms of access.

All personal information gathered by SASHC during the provision of allied health services will remain confidential, however, please note that by signing and acknowledging this document, you accept that information will be shared with other allied health professionals involved in your/your child’s care.

Cancellations

Self-funded appointments

A cancellation fee of $50 is payable upon any appointment cancelled within 48 working hours (2 business days) of the scheduled appointment. We will make every effort to send out reminders for upcoming appointments, however it is your responsibility to inform us if you cannot make these appointments.

NDIS appointments

We understand that at times appointments will need to be cancelled due to illness and unavoidable circumstances. However, in order to provide an affordable and viable service, SASHC has adopted the following cancellation policy in line with NDIS policy.

We will send out reminders for all scheduled appointments, however, no shows and appointments cancelled within the short notice period (defined by the NDIS as less than 2 clear business days) from the scheduled time will incur a fee of 100% of the agreed fee associated with the activity from the Participant's plan.

Late attendance

We make every effort to send out appointment reminders, and we ask that you respect our clinicians time. Arriving late not only impacts your appointment but also those of other patients scheduled throughout the day. Consequently, we are unable to complete full assessments for late arrivals. Therefore, patients who arrive 10 minutes or more past their scheduled appointment time will not be seen and a full appointment fee will be charged.

Fees and Rebates

Fees Payable

If you are a Medicare client, you are required to pay the fee in full. Your rebate will be processed through HICAPS at the time of payment or it may be deposited into your nominated bank account within 24 hours of service.
If you are an NDIS participant and the NDIA does not pay any account associated with the service provided you will be legally responsible to pay SASHC for the unpaid accounts.
Reports of any type will not be released without prior payment.
