We understand that life happens and sometimes appointments need to be changed. As a clinical practice, our time is carefully managed to provide the best care to all clients. This cancellation and refund policy ensures we can operate fairly, ethically, and in accordance with our professional obligations.

CANCELLATION NOTICE PERIOD

To cancel your session, we require at least 48 hours notice: You may receive a refund of the session fee, minus a cancellation fee of $230 per hour booked/reserved to cover administration and lost booking time.

• With less than 24 notice: The session fee is non-refundable.

This cancellation policy helps us offer cancelled appointments to other clients in need, maintain clinical availability, and ensure fair access to care for all.

CANCELLATION FEE

The cancellation fee reflects:

• Time allocated by your practitioner
• Preparation for your session
• Lost opportunity to rebook the appointment slot

The cancellation fee will be deducted from the booking fee or any payment made to secure your appointment. If no prior payment was made, the fee may be invoiced.

Exceptions:

We understand that illness, emergencies, or other unforeseen events may occur. We will review cancellation requests on a case-by-case basis.

If exceptional circumstances apply, please contact us via email hello@pauseclinics.com.au as soon as possible. We will consider a waiver of the cancellation fee where appropriate and in line with professional obligations.

HOW TO CANCEL

To cancel an appointment:

• Notify us via email hello@pauseclinics.com.au

• Cancellations are valid once you receive confirmation from us

REFUNDS

Eligibility for Refunds:

• Cancellations made within the required notice period may be eligible for a full or partial refund, minus applicable fees.

Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 business days, unless agreed otherwise.

RESCHEDULING

You may reschedule your appointment once without additional fees if at least 48 hours notice is provided.
