d) It aims to reduce the income loss as a direct result of client cancellations, late rescheduled and missed appointments. We are a private practice, therefore if a client cancels or reschedules late or does not arrive for their scheduled appointment then Turn Up Your Zen loses income.

f) Cancellation fees will be calculated at 100% of regular session fee for appointments cancelled within 48 business hours or no-show appointments.

Outstanding accounts (maximum terms = 7 days) will be referred for debt collection and will incur an 18% + GST debt collection fee.
i) This is in line with the Office of Fair Trading which states that a business is within its rights to charge a cancellation or “no-show” fee for appointments, so long as this has been communicated to a new patient or customer before making the appointment.
