If we are travelling to you, we charge for the time and kilometres travelled for:
When we can, we will book your appointments on the same day as other customers who live near you, so the travel costs are divided among the group and can be reduced. The travel time will be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes each way for metropolitan Perth and larger regional centres, and 60 minutes each way for more remote regional areas. The kilometres will be charged at 99 cents per kilometre for a standard vehicle and $2.76 if a modified vehicle is required.
We don’t charge for time or kilometres for support workers to travel to you from their home.
To cancel or change your appointment without charge, please give us at least 2 business days’ notice for Therapy or Positive Behaviour Support.
For Support Work, please provide 72 hours’ notice. If your appointment is with a support worker on a public holiday, we need 5 days’ notice for the appointment to be cancelled without charge.
If you cancel or change your appointment without giving us the required notice period, we will charge you the full cost of your appointment (including travel time and any preparation completed).
If you are not at home when we arrive for your appointment, we will attempt to contact you via phone. If we are unable to reach you, we may contact your Emergency Contact and/or legal guardian to let them know we were not able to provide your service. If we travel to you and you are not at the location agreed, we will also charge you travel costs (as outlined above).
If you have a support worker service, please call the scheduling line 6254 6700 to cancel or reschedule this service. For all therapy services call 1300 111 881.
Payment is due within 7 days of receiving your invoice. We will send you reminders if you have not paid your invoice by the due date. We may place services on hold if payment is not made, so please speak to us if you are having trouble paying by the due date.
