The Cost of your Service
The real cost to provide counselling services is $210 per session. However I am able to provide this service according to the fee structure provided above, due to being a small business owner in FNQ, which has a higher unemployment rate within our wider community.
The following fees, based on household income, are payable at the end of each session (a minimum $25 fee applies).
Please note: in regard to Family Law counselling, "Annual Household Income" means the combined income of a couple whether or not they are living together at the time of their appointment. However if you are permanently separated and attending by yourself your individual income only will apply.
People will be taken at their word and no one will be asked to provide proof of income or financial status.
I understand that at times things may be difficult financially, so fees can be calculated on your capacity to pay. You will be given an opportunity to discuss your situation with me and agree on an appropriate amount. Fees may be renegotiated and in some circumstances, such as particular financial hardship, no fee will be applied.
No one will be refused service based on their capacity to pay.
You are requested to give a minimum of 24 hours notice of cancellation. I trust you will understand the need to charge the agreed fee for each appointment time missed, where due notice was not given.
Fees for services rendered are not tax-deductible, They are GST free and there is no charge to provide information and/or referrals to other organisations or programmes.
