Information about Working with Us or Buying from Us Online
Payment Terms
For consultations, testing and product sales made online, we operate on a pay in advance basis in Australian dollars (AUD). This means that for your consultation appointment booking to be confirmed, you will need to pay in advance. Once payment has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email and a booking link to schedule your appointment with the individual practitioner.
As mentioned in our Privacy Policy, we use the Stripe system to process online payments. If you would prefer not to pay via credit card over the internet, you can call the clinic on 0478 885 304 or email: hello@nutritionforkids.com.au and arrange a direct deposit.
Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy
We require 24 hours-notice via email or phone call if you need to reschedule your consultation. Please note that cancelling via email or phone with less that 24-hours notice will result in 50% of the consultation fee being charged. The remaining 50% of the consultation cost will be held towards a consultation on a future date. No refunds will be given for cancellations with less than 24-hours notice.
We understand that sometimes things happen, however, our practitioners only work on select days so short-notice cancellations do not allow time for other clients to book. If more than 24-hours notice is given, we can (subject to availability) reschedule your appointment, without any penalty fee being charged. Call the clinic on 0478 885 304 or email at hello@nutritionforkids.com.au to reschedule. Thank you for understanding.
Online Consultations
Unable to Attend Online Consultation Because of Internet Disruption (& Refund Policy)
If we have an online consultation booked and the internet service becomes disrupted, on your side or Nutrition For Kids’, to the level that the consultation can no longer continue, we can either continue the consultation via telephone, or, if necessary, reschedule to a more suitable time. If the internet disruption is occurring at Nutrition For Kids, and it is not possible for you to reschedule, you will be refunded the full consultation fee.
General Refund Policy
Please note both the ‘Cancellation Policy’ and the ‘Unable to Attend Online Consultation Because of Internet Disruption’ sections above. Generally, refunds will not be given for consultations when less than 24-hours notice was given to cancel or appointments that have already taken place. In the event that Nutrition For Kids needs to cancel or reschedule a consultation with you, you will either be given a refund or we can reschedule to a time that suits you.
Health Fund Rebates
A rebate may be available from your private health fund for nutrition consultations depending on your policy and provider. Please contact your individual health fund for more information. Naturopathy consultations are not available for health rebates.
