DNA Fee Policy
The Doctors Werribee now has a DNA Policy in place whereby patients who fail to attend appointments will incur a fee of $15.00.
A minimum of 24 hour’s notice is required for all appointments. However, we do understand emergency can arise.
The Doctors Werribee uses SMS reminders as a convenient way to remind you the day before of your appointment details. This service is a courtesy only and not receiving your SMS reminder is not a valid reason to miss your appointment.
It is your responsibility to be aware of your appointment details, and to arrive on time or reschedule with sufficient notice.
The Doctors Werribee reserves the right to request these fees are paid in full before another appointment can be made. You may also be limited in the ways you can book in the future for repeat, serious offenders.
