Last updated: 1 October 2026
You agree that the information you give us is a true and accurate record. You, or the responsible party, agree to pay fees at the time of service. Any expenses, costs or disbursements incurred by Cranbourne North Dental will be paid by the responsible party listed in the details you have given.
If your overdue account is referred to a collection agency and/or law firm, you will be liable for all costs incurred in collecting the debt, including legal demand costs.
In some instances, a deposit or pre-payment will be required and we will let you know. Failure to attend an appointment, or cancelling without sufficient notice, may result in the deposit being forfeited and/or a fee being charged, and a deposit may be required for future appointments.
We accept cash, EFTPOS and all major credit and debit cards. No surcharge applies to card payments. If you paid through a payment plan provider, any refunds will be adjusted for any pro-rata payment plan fees.
By attending appointments, you consent to the recording of consultations so that transcriptions of patient notes, referrals or other documents can be created using AI software. All transcriptions are reviewed by our qualified clinicians for accuracy and compliance with applicable privacy laws. Recordings and transcriptions are stored and managed securely in line with relevant data protection standards.
Telephone calls with our team may be recorded for quality assurance, training and service improvement. Recordings are stored securely and used only for these purposes, in line with applicable privacy laws.
Our premises are monitored by closed-circuit television (CCTV) for the safety and security of patients, staff and property. CCTV footage is stored securely and used only for security purposes, in line with applicable privacy laws.
While we endeavour to send courtesy reminders, it is ultimately your responsibility to remember your appointment time. We require 48 hours’ notice for any changes to appointments. Failure to give adequate notice may result in a fee.
We pride ourselves on providing the best service possible. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with our service, please contact us directly on (03) 5933 2766 or at info@cranbournenorthdental.com.au.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Health Complaints Commissioner (Victoria). For privacy complaints, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
We abide by the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights.
