The Legal Risk Score of a NDIS Complaint Policy Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a financial risk involved as clients may be charged a full session fee if they fail to cancel within the specified notice period or do not show up for an appointment.
  • Clients might face unexpected charges if the funding body, such as NDIS, rejects the cancellation charge, as the financial responsibility then shifts directly to the client.
  • The policy allows for charges in cases of short notice cancellations or no-shows without exceptions listed for reasonable but unforeseen circumstances, except in vaguely defined "exceptional circumstances."

Overall, this document presents a risk level due to its clear but strict cancellation fees and potential financial implications for clients. Users should be aware of the specific conditions under which they might incur charges and consider whether they can consistently meet the cancellation requirements. This awareness and understanding are crucial in managing the risks associated with agreeing to this policy.
