​
We accept Private, Medicare and NDIS funding.
​
For Assessments, payment is due in installments. Please refer to our assessments page for further information. ​
Cancellation Policy
For therapy or family support sessions, we kindly request at least 48 business hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules.
Cancellations and rescheduling of appointments with less than 48 hours' notice will incur a cancellation fee equal to 100% of the appointment fee.
For Assessments, we kindly request 7 days notice for cancellations or reschedules.
Cancellations and rescheduling of assessment appointments with less than 7 days notice will incur a cancellation fee.
A cancellation policy is set in place, which reflects the time that the clinician sets aside for your appointment.
Your cancellation notice would be much appreciated, as this can enable us to provide services to other clients who may be in need of an urgent appointment. ​
Between-Session Communication and Email Policy
At A Mind of Your Own Psychology Education and Support (AMOYO), we understand that communication needs vary. Some people find it much easier to communicate in writing, particularly when processing experiences, organising their thoughts or sharing information they may find difficult to discuss during an appointment.
​
What You Can Use Email For
Email can be used for administrative matters, including:
​
-
scheduling, cancelling or changing appointments
-
requesting invoices or receipts
-
providing forms, reports or other documents
-
providing information that may be relevant to your care or your child's care
-
sharing information or observations you would like your clinician to be aware of before an upcoming appointment.
​
You are welcome to email your clinician with information you would like them to know. Where possible, clinicians will review relevant information before your next appointment.
​
Therapeutic Support by Email
While you are welcome to provide information by email, clinicians are generally unable to provide therapy, detailed clinical advice or extensive therapeutic responses via email.
​
There are several reasons for this. Written communication does not provide the same opportunity for discussion, clarification and assessment as a clinical appointment, and substantial email correspondence also takes clinicians away from scheduled client care.
​
Information you send can instead be discussed during your next appointment.
​
If something requires more detailed discussion before your next scheduled appointment, please contact the practice to arrange an additional appointment.
​
Parents and Caregivers
Parents and caregivers are welcome to provide relevant information to their child's clinician between appointments.
We recognise that there may also be times when you need to discuss concerns, changes at home, parenting strategies or your child's progress in more detail without using your child's appointment time.
​
In these circumstances, a separate parent or caregiver consultation can be arranged. This provides dedicated time to discuss your concerns, develop strategies and coordinate support while protecting your child's individual therapy time and privacy.
​
Response Times
We aim to respond to emails within 2 to 3 business days where possible. However, many of our psychologists and clinicians work part time and may only access and respond to emails on their usual working days. This means that, depending on when an email is received and the clinician's work schedule, a response may sometimes take longer than 2 to 3 business days.
​
Email accounts are not continuously monitored and clinicians are not expected to check emails on days they are not working. Email is also not monitored as a crisis or emergency service. Clinicians may additionally be unavailable due to appointments, leave, illness or other professional commitments.
​
Urgent or Crisis Support
Email should not be used where you or someone else requires urgent mental health or safety support.
​
If you or your child require immediate assistance, please seek support through an appropriate urgent or emergency service. If there is an immediate risk to safety, call 000.
​
By using email to communicate with AMOYO, you acknowledge that email is not an immediate or emergency communication service.
