CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW POLICY
​
Introduction
Moreton Aesthetics values your time and appreciates your commitment to your appointments. To ensure fairness to all clients and efficient clinic operations, we have implemented the following late cancellation and no-show policy.
Late Cancellation
A late cancellation is defined as a cancellation made less than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time.
-
Your card details are required to confirm your appointment. No payment is taken at point of confirmation, your card details are simply linked to the appointment.
-
Where appointments are cancelled within 48 of the appointment time, 25% of the appointment will be charged.
-
We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we will always endeavour to accommodate changes to appointments where possible. However, late cancellations can disrupt our scheduling and impact other clients and result in lost revenue for the clinic.
​
No-Show
A no-show is defined as a missed appointment without providing prior notice.
-
A 30% fee of the appointment cost will be charged for no-shows.
-
Persistent no-shows may result in the clinic's refusal to book future appointments.
​
Exceptions
In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or emergencies, the clinic may waive the late cancellation or no-show fee at its discretion. Supporting documentation may be required.
Payment
The late cancellation or no-show fee is deducted from the linked payment card at point of late cancellation or no-show, through our Glowday booking system.
​
Communication
At point of confirming a booking, a confirmation email with the appointment details is sent. 72 hours prior to the appointment, a reminder email is sent. 24 hours prior to the appointment a text message reminder is sent. We encourage patients to reschedule or cancel appointments with sufficient notice to avoid these fees.
Policy Review
This policy is subject to review and may be amended from time to time.
