1. ENGAGEMENT AND TERM

1.1 These Terms apply from the Commencement Date until the date that is the earlier of:

(a) the date the Services are completed (as reasonably determined by us); or

(b) the date on which these Terms are terminated (Term).

 

2. SERVICES

2.1 Services means the mental healthcare services provided or to be provided by us to you, including but not limited to psychological therapy and psychological services, mental health social work, counselling, consultations, assessments, treatments, procedures, and any other healthcare-related services as agreed between us from time to time.

2.2 In consideration of your payment of the Fees, we will provide the Services in accordance with these Terms, whether ourselves or through our Personnel.

2.3 The Services will be provided by practitioners who hold the qualifications, registrations, accreditations and professional memberships appropriate to the Services they deliver, and each practitioner will work within their individual scope of practice. Where a Service may only be delivered by a practitioner holding a particular registration or accreditation, we will only deliver that Service through a practitioner who holds it.

2.4 We may not provide Services in the following circumstances:

(a) if you are in an emergency situation requiring immediate assistance;

(b) if you are intoxicated by alcohol or drugs during a session;

(c) if you are suicidal or at risk of harming yourself or others, we may require you to have local mental health support in place; or

(d) if you reside outside Australia, due to registration and insurance restrictions. Please contact us to discuss eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

 

3. PHYSICAL CONTACT

3.1 Physical contact between a practitioner and a client is uncommon in the course of the Services and does not occur as a matter of routine.

3.2 Physical contact will only occur where:

(a) it is clinically indicated and supported by an evidence base;

(b) it has been discussed with you in advance, including its purpose, its nature and how it will be used in your treatment;

(c) you have given your prior express written consent to it; and

(d) it is consistent with our professional, ethical and legal obligations.

3.3 Clinical purposes for which physical contact may be proposed include grounding and stabilisation techniques, movement-based interventions, and support with emotional regulation.

3.4 You may refuse physical contact, or withdraw your consent to it, at any time and without giving reasons. Doing so will not affect the quality of the Services provided to you, or your continued access to them.

3.5 A withdrawal of consent under clause 3.4 takes effect immediately upon you communicating it to us, whether in writing or verbally.

3.6 Nothing in this clause authorises, or may be relied on to authorise, physical contact of a sexual nature or any physical contact that is otherwise unlawful or contrary to our professional obligations.

 

4. YOUR RIGHTS

4.1 It is your right as a client to be:

(a) treated in a safe environment that meets the necessary professional standards;

(b) treated with respect, dignity and courtesy, and without discrimination, including on the basis of culture, gender, race, colour, religion, nationality, age and ability;

(c) informed of the evidence-base and decisions associated with service provision; and

(d) informed of the costs associated with the Services.

4.2 You have the right to give, refuse or withdraw your consent to physical contact under clause 3, and to the use of AI-assisted note-taking under clause 11, at any time and without your care being affected. You may also withdraw the consents given under clauses 9 and 10 by notifying us in writing.

4.3 If you have a concern or complaint about the Services or about us as your service provider, you should:

(a) in the first instance, discuss your concerns or provide feedback directly to us; and

(b) if you are not satisfied with our response, you may refer the matter to the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

4.4 We are committed to addressing all complaints promptly and fairly. We will make reasonable efforts to resolve any issues raised and to improve our Services based on feedback received.

4.5 Nothing in these Terms limits your right to make a complaint to any regulatory, professional or health complaints body that has jurisdiction over the Services or over the practitioner providing them.

4.6 You have the right to terminate the Services at any time. Where your attendance (or a Child's attendance) is mandated by a court, attendance is governed by the court order and cannot be unilaterally terminated by you. Termination of these Terms is dealt with separately in clause 18.

 

5. YOUR OBLIGATIONS

5.1 You agree to (and to the extent applicable, ensure that your Personnel agree to):

(a) comply with these Terms, all applicable Laws, and our reasonable requests;

(b) if you are under 18 or lack decision-making capacity, ensure that consent is provided in accordance with clause 6 by a person with parental responsibility, a guardian or an authorised representative;

(c) provide accurate information about your mental health history, medical conditions, and any relevant circumstances to ensure safe and effective service delivery; and

(d) provide a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan or referral from a GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician, which is required to claim Medicare rebates under the Better Access initiative.

 

6. CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

6.1 This clause applies where the client receiving the Services is a Child. It prevails over any inconsistent provision of these Terms.

6.2 Consent to a Child's treatment must be given by a person with Parental Responsibility for the Child, unless the Child may lawfully consent for themselves. A person aged 16 or over may consent to their own treatment. A Child under 16 may consent for themselves only in the limited circumstances permitted by the Consent to Medical Treatment and Palliative Care Act 1995 (SA), as assessed by us.

6.3 The person who signs for a Child warrants that:

(a) they have Parental Responsibility for the Child, or are otherwise lawfully entitled to consent to the Child's treatment;

(b) they are not aware of any court order, parenting order or agreement that restricts their authority to consent to the Child's treatment; and

(c) the information they give us about the Child's family circumstances is true and complete.

6.4 You must tell us before the first appointment if the Child's parents are separated, if there are or have been any parenting orders or family-law proceedings concerning the Child, or if any person's contact with the Child is restricted, and you must give us a copy of any relevant orders. You must tell us promptly if any of this changes during the engagement.

6.5 Where a Child's parents are separated, we may require the written consent of each person with Parental Responsibility before starting or continuing non-urgent treatment, and we may suspend the Services while any dispute about consent to treatment is resolved. We may inform the other parent of the engagement where we consider it appropriate and safe to do so.

6.6 We owe the Child confidentiality in their own right. Information about the Child's treatment, and access to the Child's records, may be limited — including to a parent — where the Child has the capacity to decide for themselves, where we consider limitation to be in the Child's best interests, or where disclosure would create risk. Nothing in this clause limits clause 7 (Mandatory Reporting) or any disclosure required by Law, including under subpoena.

6.7 Our role with a Child client is therapeutic, not forensic. We do not provide reports, letters or recommendations about parenting arrangements, custody or a parent's conduct for use in family-law or other proceedings, except as required by Law. If records are subpoenaed or a report is required by Law, our reasonable fees for the work involved are payable by the person who signed for the Child.

6.8 The person who signs these Terms for a Child is responsible for the Fees, regardless of any arrangement between parents about sharing costs.

6.9 A Child must be accompanied to the premises by a responsible adult, and that adult must supervise the Child, and any other children they bring, at all times in the waiting areas, playroom and other common areas. Neither we nor the Practice Services Provider (clause 13) provides childcare or supervision outside the treatment session itself.

 

7. MANDATORY REPORTING

7.1 You acknowledge that we may be required by Law to disclose certain information, particularly if we believe there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of suspected child abuse or neglect.

 

8. MENTAL HEALTH CARE PLANS

8.1 If you are referred under a Mental Health Care Plan, you acknowledge that we are required to provide reports to your referring doctor as per Medicare requirements.

8.2 You must provide a copy of your Mental Health Care Plan to us before your first appointment. It is your responsibility to ensure that we have a current Mental Health Care Plan. Failure to ensure that you have a current Mental Health Care Plan at the time of your appointment will result in you not being eligible for a rebate for that particular Service.

 

9. MEDICARE CLAIMS AND RECORDS CONSENT

9.1 Where you have given your consent in our client consent form, you authorise us and our designated third-party service providers to:

(a) submit claims to Medicare on your behalf for eligible Services provided to you;

(b) access your Medicare claims history and other relevant Medicare records for the purpose of providing and managing your healthcare;

(c) use your Medicare card details for claiming purposes; and

(d) communicate with Medicare regarding your claims and eligibility for services.

9.2 You acknowledge that this consent extends to any third-party service provider we engage to assist with Medicare claiming and related administrative tasks. We will ensure that any such third party adheres to all relevant privacy and confidentiality obligations.

9.3 This consent remains valid for the duration of your treatment with us unless you withdraw it in writing. You may withdraw this consent at any time but understand that doing so may affect our ability to claim Medicare rebates on your behalf and may impact our administrative processes.

 

10. CONSENT FOR THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION ACCESS

10.1 Where you have given your consent in our client consent form, you authorise us to:

(a) obtain your personal and health information from third parties, including but not limited to other healthcare providers, hospitals, diagnostic services, and health insurers;

(b) disclose your personal and health information to third parties where necessary for the provision of our Services or for the management of your healthcare; and

(c) communicate with these third parties on your behalf regarding your healthcare.

10.2 We will only obtain or disclose information under clause 10.1 to the extent reasonably necessary for the provision or management of your healthcare, and in accordance with clause 15 and the Privacy Laws.

10.3 You may withdraw or limit this consent at any time by notifying us in writing. A withdrawal takes effect when we receive it and does not affect anything already done in reliance on the consent. We will tell you if a withdrawal or limitation is likely to affect our ability to provide or coordinate the Services.

10.4 This clause does not limit clause 7 (Mandatory Reporting) or any other disclosure we are required or authorised to make by Law.

 

11. AI-ASSISTED NOTE-TAKING

11.1 We may use automated, AI-assisted note-taking tools (AI Note-Taking Tools) during a session to produce a written summary of the session for your clinical record. The purpose of using these tools is to allow your practitioner to remain fully present with you during the session rather than taking manual notes.

11.2 We will only use an AI Note-Taking Tool in your session where you have given your prior express written consent to its use. That consent is given separately from these Terms, in the client consent form we provide to you, and is not implied by your acceptance of these Terms.

11.3 Where you consent to the use of an AI Note-Taking Tool, you acknowledge and agree that:

(a) audio of the session is processed in real time to generate a transcript and a written summary;

(b) only the AI-generated summary, once reviewed and where necessary corrected by your practitioner, is retained in your clinical record;

(c) the audio recording and the transcript are not retained by us or by the tool once the summary has been generated; and

(d) your practitioner remains professionally responsible for the accuracy and content of your clinical record.

11.4 We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any AI Note-Taking Tool we use:

(a) handles Personal Information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and supports our record-keeping obligations under applicable professional standards;

(b) applies industry-standard encryption and security controls to information in transit and at rest;

(c) stores and processes data on secure servers located in Australia, and where any data is stored or processed outside Australia, we will tell you this before we ask for your consent; and

(d) does not use your information to train artificial intelligence models.

11.5 You may withdraw your consent to the use of an AI Note-Taking Tool at any time, without giving reasons and without any effect on the Services provided to you. A withdrawal takes effect immediately upon you communicating it to us, and we will use manual note-taking methods from that point.

11.6 Withdrawing your consent does not require us to alter or delete clinical records already created, which we are required to make and retain under applicable Laws and professional standards.

11.7 We will not use an AI Note-Taking Tool to record, retain or use audio of a session for any purpose other than as described in this clause.

 

12. PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION AND PEER CONSULTATION

12.1 Our practitioners participate in regular professional supervision, peer consultation and case review. These are requirements of professional registration and membership, and are a normal part of safe and accountable clinical practice.

12.2 You acknowledge that information about your treatment may be discussed in supervision, peer consultation or case review. We will use de-identified information for this purpose wherever it is practicable to do so.

12.3 Where de-identification is not practicable, we will disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the purpose of the supervision or consultation.

12.4 All supervisors, peer consultants and other participants in these discussions are bound by confidentiality obligations equivalent to those owed to you by your treating practitioner.

12.5 Supervision and peer consultation do not create a therapeutic or professional relationship between you and the supervisor or consultant, and they remain independent of your treating practitioner.

12.6 Nothing in this clause limits clause 7 (Mandatory Reporting) or our obligations under the Privacy Laws.

 

13. PRACTICE ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES

13.1 We provide the Services from premises operated by One Body Mind Pty Ltd (ACN 682 839 372) (Practice Services Provider), which supplies us with reception, administrative, practice management software, fee collection and Medicare claim management services. We practise independently. The Practice Services Provider does not provide health services to you, does not direct or influence our clinical judgment, and has no role in your assessment or treatment.

13.2 So that those services can be provided, your Personal Information is handled by the Practice Services Provider and its personnel on our behalf and at our direction. The information involved includes your name and contact details, your appointment times, your Medicare and payment details, your invoices and account history, and the clinical records held in the practice management system.

13.3 The Practice Services Provider acts as our agent for the purposes of:

(a) receiving and managing your bookings and enquiries, including at reception;

(b) issuing invoices and collecting the Fees payable by you;

(c) processing your payments, currently through the Tyro payment platform; and

(d) submitting and managing Medicare claims on our behalf, currently through Tyro Eftpos and Tyro Health Online.

13.4 The Practice Services Provider and its personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations owed to us under our agreement with them. They must handle your Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Laws, must use it only for the purpose of providing those administrative services, and must not use it for their own purposes.

13.5 Your clinical records remain under our control and our professional responsibility. Copies are stored electronically within the practice management system operated by the Practice Services Provider, for the sole purpose of enabling those administrative services to be provided to us.

13.6 Payments and Medicare claims are processed through third-party platforms. Those platforms handle your payment and Medicare information under their own privacy, security and regulatory obligations. If we change the Practice Services Provider or the platforms we use, we will update these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

13.7 If you have a concern about how your information is handled in connection with these administrative services, please raise it with us in the first instance under clause 4.3.

 

14. FEES AND PAYMENT

14.1 In consideration for us providing the Services, you agree to pay all amounts due under these Terms in accordance with the Payment Terms.

14.2 Cancellations: This clause is our cancellation policy. You must provide at least 48 hours' notice when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. If you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment time or fail to show up, you will be charged the full fee for the service. All cancellations must be communicated by phone, email, or through our online booking system. In cases of genuine emergencies, fees may be waived at our discretion.

14.3 If any payment has not been made in accordance with the Payment Terms, we may (at our absolute discretion, and without prejudice to any of our rights or remedies under these Terms or at Law):

(a) after a period of 5 Business Days from the relevant due date, cease providing the Services, and recover, as a debt due and immediately payable from you, our reasonable additional costs of doing so (including all recovery costs); and/or

(b) charge interest at a rate equal to the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate, from time to time, plus 2% per annum, calculated daily and compounding monthly, on any such amounts unpaid after the relevant due date in accordance with the Payment Terms.

14.4 When applicable, GST payable will be clearly shown on our invoices. You agree to pay us an amount equivalent to the GST imposed on these charges. "GST" has the meaning given in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

 

15. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

15.1 We will keep information about you, your treatment and the fact of your engagement with us confidential, and we will not use or disclose it except as permitted by this clause or as required or authorised by Law.

15.2 We will collect, hold, use and disclose your Personal Information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), any other applicable laws relating to privacy (Privacy Laws), and our Privacy Policy, which is available on our website and on request.

15.3 We will only use or disclose your Personal Information:

(a) for the purpose of providing and managing the Services;

15.5 We will make and retain clinical records in accordance with applicable Laws and professional standards. You may request access to, or correction of, your Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Laws and our Privacy Policy.

15.6 Where you provide us with Personal Information about another individual (for example a family member, an emergency contact, or a child in your care), you must ensure that:

(a) you are authorised by the Privacy Laws to collect that Personal Information and to disclose it to us in the manner contemplated by these Terms; and

(b) you have informed the individual to whom the Personal Information relates that their Personal Information will be disclosed to us, and how we will handle it.

15.7 This clause 15 will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

 

16. AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

To the extent that you maintain Consumer Law Rights at Law, nothing in these Terms excludes those Consumer Law Rights.

19.9 Subcontracting: We may subcontract the provision of any part of the Services without your prior written consent. We agree that any subcontracting does not discharge us from any liability under these Terms and that we are liable for the acts and omissions of our subcontractor.

19.10 Waiver: Any failure or delay by a Party in exercising a power or right (either wholly or partially) in relation to these Terms does not operate as a waiver or prevent that Party from exercising that power or right or any other power or right.
