Terms of Trade

Terms and Conditions of Trade

The following Terms of Trade apply to services provided by Ferry Road Medical Centre to its patients.

1. Unless otherwise agreed, all services are expected to be paid for on the date of service.
   
   
2. A current price list is displayed at the reception counter, waiting room and on the website. Prices quoted for services may be adjusted from time to time, and the customer hereby agrees to pay such adjusted price, e.g. in instances where cost of goods increases, government surcharges increase, errors or omissions by Ferry Road Medical Centre or its representatives. Prices include GST unless otherwise stated.
   
   
3. No staff member at Ferry Road Medical Centre may agree to other terms than as written in this contract.
   
   
4. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, EFTPOS, credit card, debit card or electronic banking.
   
   
5. Where payment is not made by the end of the month (or 30 days from the consultation), a $5.00 administration fee will apply.
   
   
6. We reserve the right to require payment before booking is confirmed to ensure payment – this may apply to:

• Visitors / Casual patients (non-enrolled patients)
• First appointment for new patients
• Those who have an outstanding account
• Those who have had a previous debt with us

7. Nonpayment of accounts may result in your account being placed on HOLD – this will mean any consultations, medical services or script requests must be paid before being seen or script sent to the pharmacy.
   
   
8. Ferry Road Medical Centre may withhold further provision of service where there is any outstanding amount due, except in an emergency.
   
   
9. Where patients are in breach of agreed payment terms, we may disclose this information to debt collection agencies and legal proceedings may follow. This may result in your name and address being entered into the Computer Bureau default listing which will have an impact on your credit rating.
   
   
10. Collection fees and costs incurred to recover outstanding monies will be payable by the patient.
    
    
11. Ferry Road Medical Centre may disclose personal information for debt collection, repossession, credit reporting and other similar purposes.
    
    
12. Termination of the contract may apply where there is no payment without prejudice to any claims Ferry Road Medical Centre Limited may have. Variations to the Terms of Trade may occur from time to time, and Ferry Road Medical Centre will notify the patient by way of invoice – receipt of which shall be deemed to be acceptance by the patient.
    
    
13. A cancellation fee may be charged if you fail to keep an appointment or give less than 1 hours’ notice of cancellation. The fee is $20.00 for adults and children.
