The same upfront fee applies whether one partner (P1) or both (P1 & P2) attends, as we’ve allocated the same duration for a comprehensive assessment and discussion.
Medicare rebate and Out Of Pocket (OOP) expense shown are for couples that attend together. If you’ve reached the Safety Net, you might be eligible for 80% refund of the OOP gap.

SMS confirmation

We will send a SMS reminder one week before your appointment. Please reply “Y” if you can attend or “N” if you wish to cancel/reschedule. If you don’t have a mobile, please email or call the day before to confirm.

Late arrivals

To minimise the delay for other patients and the flow of the clinic, we may need to reschedule or reduce the length of the consultation if you are late. Please advise reception if you are running late as alternative arrangements may be possible.

Cancellation policy

We understand that life can get busy.

If you wish to reschedule or cancel your appointment, we kindly request that you inform us at least 24 hours prior so that we can offer your appointment slot to another patient.

A late cancellation (<24 hours’ notice) or non-attendance ("no show"), will attract a cancellation/non-attendance fee of $50. To secure a subsequent appointment, the cancellation/non-attendance fee has to be settled prior. This fee is not entitled to Medicare rebate. If you feel you have extraordinary or emergency circumstances, please inform us in writing for our management’s due consideration.

As time is valuable to all, we’d appreciate your kind understanding and adherence to our cancellation/non-attendance policy in enabling us to provide quality and efficient services to all patients wishing to see Dr Fong.
