If you need to change or cancel an appointment, we ask that you provide two business days’ notice and let us know within regular business hours.
For example, if your appointment is at 9am on a Monday, you need to let us know by 9am the Thursday before.
To cancel or change an appointment, please call our Customer Experience Team on 1300 135 373 during business hours. Please do not contact your therapist directly, as they may not receive your message in time.
If you miss an appointment or cancel within two business days, we will charge you the full cost of your appointment. This includes travel.
If you cancel often, we will discuss your therapy services and goals, and what help you might need to attend appointments. If we can’t find a solution then we may decide to stop services until you are able to attend your appointments.
If your therapist needs to cancel an appointment we will do our best to reschedule.
Please note: We require five business days’ notice to cancel or change appointments where a therapist/team is travelling to a rural or remote location from a metro location.
Please note the following as part of our duty of care:
Children aged under 18 years must be supervised by a parent or guardian when receiving therapy services. This includes appointments at Therapy Focus offices, at home and in community settings. Supervision means the parent or guardian is within sight and/or hearing of the child for the duration of the appointment. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis following a risk assessment and as agreed to by both parties.
Customers with personal care and health care needs must be accompanied by a support person who is able to manage those needs when visiting Therapy Focus offices. The support person must stay at the office for the duration of the appointment.
Therapy Focus staff cannot administer medication.
The health and safety of customers accessing therapy services at a facility that is not managed by Therapy Focus (e.g. care facility, school, community location) is the responsibility of that facility. It is also the responsibility of the facility to share health and safety information with Therapy Focus staff so that any risks can be identified and managed.
NDIS/Agency Managed Plans
If you have asked the NDIS to manage all or part of your funding, we need an active service booking in the myplace portal to start delivering services.
A service booking allocates funding from your NDIS Plan for the services we will deliver over an agreed timeframe.
Once you have provided consent by signing your Service Agreement, we can make service bookings on your behalf.
We will claim payment from the NDIS after we have provided services.
You can see what we have charged for in the myplace portal. You can also request a Statement of Services from us at any time.
If you receive an automatic plan extension from NDIS we will continue to provide services to you without interruption.
Self and Plan Managed
If you are managing your NDIS funding, or if you are using a plan manager, we will send invoices after we have delivered services.
Payment is required within 14 days of the invoice date.
Invoices can be paid:
Please use your invoice number as the reference when making a payment. A receipt will be sent to you once payment has cleared.
If there are any issues with your invoice you have seven days from the date of invoice to raise these issues with us.
We will send you a reminder if you have not paid your invoice by the due date. We have the right to stop services and refer your case to debt collection if payment is not received.
Final invoices for services and/or plans will be sent in our normal billing cycle.
We want to know when things are going well, and when there are issues.

As registered NDIS provider, Therapy Focus services are reviewed by an auditor every 18 months to ensure we meet NDIS standards.
If you are an NDIS participant you may be selected by the auditor to take part in the review. This can include an interview and/or allowing the auditor to look at your file.
You do not have to participate if you do not want to.
If you are selected and decide to participate, we will contact you to arrange a time that suits you.
For more information visit the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission website at ndiscommission.gov.au.
We have systems and processes in place to support you during service disruptions.
Natural disasters, pandemics and other circumstances outside of our control may impact our ability to deliver services.
In these circumstances, we will do our best to continue therapy. Services can be provided online or over the phone via teletherapy, as an alternative to face-to-face appointments.
By working together, we can make sure there is as little disruption to your therapy as possible.
Signing a Service Agreement
A Service Agreement is a written agreement between a service provider and a customer, or their authorised representative.
Our Service Agreement outlines the supports we will provide and how they will be delivered. It also details the agreed budget or cost for providing services and supports.
When you choose Therapy Focus as your provider, a Service Agreement must be signed before we can start delivering therapy services.
Have questions?
Our Customer Experience Team can assist with any questions you have about accessing our services or anything else you might need. Their goal is to make your therapy journey a smooth one.
