Payment terms:

Payments are made to the supplied Direct Debit account one month in advance on the first day of each month. The monthly rates are calculated using the formula (RATE X 52) / 12.

A fixed rate requires that payments are made each and every month (like a normal rental lease) but can be terminated at one months notice. For example the total cost of hiring a room for one day per week for the year is $3,718.20.

Changes to the schedule can only be made with one months notice.

Access:

Gecko House is open from Monday to Saturday from 8:00am to 9:00pm.

EFPOS:

EFPOS facilities are available to therapists on a cost recovery basis. Therapists will need to pay their bank a merchant joining fee and ongoing merchant fees. The cost of the EFPOS terminal and phone line rental is shared with others users. Currently this averages out at $15.00 per month. Only those therapists electing to use the EFPOS facilities will be charged for the use of EFPOS facilities.

Blue Card:

All therapists that treat minors must have a Blue Card or an exemption (i.e. psychologist). The State Government application is found here.
