Last minute cancellations or non-attendance of a session could be a missed opportunity for another family to access support. Where possible please provide at least 24 hours notice if unable to attend your appointment. A fee may be charged if this notice is not provided. Please note: cancellation fees are not eligible for a Medicare rebate.
