A little bit of housekeeping…
We want every visit to be a positive and welcoming experience for you and all of our clients. These policies help us provide the highest level of care, service, and consideration to everyone who visits our clinic.
Booking & Appointments
Appointments can be made either online through our Book Now tab or you can contact the clinic directly on (03) 5221 9920 or SMS 0428 462 299. We will always endeavour to accommodate your preferred appointment time and clinician. If you have a specific request, please feel free to contact us directly.
You will receive either a SMS or email reminder two days prior to your scheduled appointment.
If you are unsure which treatment is most appropriate for your concerns or aesthetic goals, our team is here to assist. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch before booking, and we will be delighted to guide you towards the most suitable option.
Late Arrivals
We understand that delays can happen, and we will always do our best to accommodate you if you’re running late. However, to ensure we remain on schedule and respect the appointment times of other clients, we are unable to extend treatment times beyond your allocated appointment.
If you arrive late, we will endeavour to complete as much of your treatment as possible within the remaining appointment time. In some circumstances, your treatment may need to be shortened or rescheduled if there is insufficient time to safely and effectively perform the service.
To ensure a relaxed and seamless experience, we recommend arriving at least 5 minutes prior to your appointment, particularly if it is your first visit to complete a new client form.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and we will always do our best to work with you when unexpected circumstances arise. To ensure fairness to our team and to clients waiting for appointments, we kindly ask that you adhere to the following cancellation policy:
- 24 hours’ notice is required for any cancellation or rescheduling request. Appointments changed with more than 24 hours’ notice will not incur a fee.
- Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment will incur a fee equal to 50% of the scheduled treatment value.
- Failure to attend your appointment without notice (no-show) will result in a charge of 100% of the appointment value.
As a courtesy, appointment reminders are sent via SMS or email prior to your booking. If you need to make any changes to your appointment, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible so we can offer the appointment time to another client.
Please note that cancellations or rescheduling requests submitted via social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, direct messages, or comments, are not considered valid. All appointment changes must be made directly with the clinic by phone, SMS, or email.
Children In Clinic
We love welcoming families to our clinic; however, the safety and comfort of all clients, children, and staff is our highest priority.
As our clinic contains medical-grade equipment and treatment devices, children who require supervision are not permitted in treatment rooms. This helps us maintain a safe environment and allows your clinician to focus fully on your treatment.
Children who are old enough to sit quietly and independently in the reception area are welcome to accompany you during your appointment.
If you are unsure whether your child can attend, please contact our team before your appointment. We will be happy to discuss the best arrangement for you.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe, comfortable, and professional environment for everyone.
Refunds & Returns Policy
At The Cosmetic Refinement Clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality treatments, services, and products. Due to the nature of our services, we have the following refund policy in place.
Treatment Services
All individual treatments and treatment packages purchased are non-refundable or transferable. Individual results can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, medical history, and adherence to home care recommendations. As such, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes and do not offer refunds based on treatment results. If you are unable to continue your treatment plan due to exceptional circumstances, please contact the clinic to discuss available options.
Skincare & Cosmetic Products
We proudly honour the manufacturer’s return policy on eligible skincare and cosmetic products. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, eligible products may be returned within 30 days of purchase with proof of purchase, subject to the supplier’s return guidelines.
We encourage you to contact the clinic if you experience any concerns with your products so we can assist in finding the most suitable solution for your skin.
Supplements & Nutritional Products
For health and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns or provide refunds on supplements, nutritional products, or ingestible items where you have simply changed your mind. We recommend discussing any questions with our team prior to purchase to ensure the product is appropriate for your needs.
Damaged or Faulty Products
If you receive a product that is damaged, defective, or faulty, please contact us as soon as possible. We will work with you to arrange a replacement, exchange, or refund where required under Australian Consumer Law.
All returned products may be assessed by our team and, where applicable, the manufacturer before a refund or replacement is approved.
Please note: We typically accept returns only when less than 20% of the product has been used, unless the issue couldn’t have been reasonably identified earlier.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be redeemed for cash. Any unused balance will remain available until the voucher expiry date.
Deposits and Cancellation Fees
Deposits and cancellation fees are non-refundable. Please refer to our Cancellation Policy for further information regarding appointment changes and cancellations.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this policy excludes or limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law. You may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund where goods or services fail to meet consumer guarantees.
If you have any questions regarding any of these policies, please contact the clinic prior to making a purchase or booking a treatment.
