Care Professionals (CP) are discouraged from cancelling visits. When an assigned care visit is cancelled, a care recipient is deprived of the care he/she requires.
CPs who cancel an assigned visit without a valid reason will be subjected to cancellation fees. A cancellation fee, inclusive of GST, will be deducted from your future service fees in the following scenarios, with effect from 1 August 2023:
Cancellation Policy
| Scenarios | Fee (per visit) |
| CP cancels within 48 hours before scheduled visit | $54 ($50 + $4 GST) cancellation fee |
| CP cancels between 48 hours and 14 days before scheduled visit | $27 ($25 + $2 GST) cancellation fee |
| CP does not turn up for a scheduled visit | $54 ($50 + $4 GST) no show fee |
| CP is late for the scheduled visit (clock-in 10 minutes or more after the visit start time) | $16.20 ($15 + $1.20 GST) late clock-in fee |
Fee Waiver
| Scenarios | Waiver Criteria |
| CP cancels more than 14 days before scheduled visit | Do not require waivers as this is not subjected to any cancellation fee. |
