Andrew has completed the Intermediate year of Somatic Experiencing (SE) training. Certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) is a three-year course, presented in the format of six, six-day workshops plus supervision.

Somatic Experiencing is a trauma-informed therapy that has been designed to support people to regulate their nervous systems with the aim of promoting better flexibility and flow. SE is particularly helpful for people with stuck or dysregulated nervous systems. This can present as being both highly anxious or shutdown. It's aim is to support stabilisation and integration.

SE is a "bottom up" approach to therapy and can be useful for those who find traditional "top down" therapies like CBT unhelpful. Interested in finding out more? Talk with admin if you are interested in finding out more about treatment from a Somatic Experiencing perspective. More information can also be found at https://www.seaustralia.com.au/what-is-somatic-experiencing/.

Our late cancellation policy at Aspect Clinic starts two full business days prior to your appointment. Within this time if you cancel or reschedule your appointment there will be an 80% late cancellation fee.

This timeframe allows our admin to be able to try and fill the appointment with a patient that may have not been able to get an appointment. It also gives this patient sufficient notice.

If the appointment is filled then the late cancellation fee will not be charged.

LCF's can not be claimed through Medicare, as it is a legal requirement that the patient attend the appointment to be eligible for a rebate.

If a patient is greater than 20 minutes late for their standard appointment, Aspect Clinic's psychologist has the right to cancel the appointment in the best interest of the patient as short appointments are at most times not beneficial and an outcome is unlikely.

Most third party funders do not cover late cancellation fees. The patient will be liable for paying late cancellation fees.

Aspect Clinic needs to have this cancellation policy in place in order for the clinic to run smoothly and for us to be able to provide highly qualified psychologists that can continue to provide the necessary required support to our community and those that need it.

Thank you for understanding.

A provisionally registered psychologist is still working their way towards gaining their full registration with APHRA. They may be on placement with the clinic as part of their Post Graduate Masters or Doctorate, or to completing on-the-job training as part of their requirements towards registration.

Provisional Psychologists are affiliated with a university and are required to complete a certain amount of hours before gaining their General Registration. They are all experienced to provide individual one on one therapy and psychological assessments under a Board Approved supervisor (At Aspect Clinic, this is our Clinic Director).

All provisional psychologists are registered with the governing body APHRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency).

Our clinic is passionate about supporting the growth of future psychologists and university programs. We also hope that some provisional psychologist who complete a placement with us will stay on once they are qualified.

This document describes the privacy policy of Telley Psychology for the management of client personal information. The psychological service provided is bound by the legal requirements of the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Client information

Client files are held in secure filing cabinets and an electronic document management system, which is accessible only to authorised employees. The information on each file includes personal information such as name, address, contact phone numbers, medical history, and other personal information collected as part of providing the psychological service.

How client personal information is collected

A client's personal information is collected in a number of ways during psychological consultation with Telley Psychology, including when the client provides information directly to the practice using hardcopy forms, correspondence via email, when the client interacts directly with Telley Psychology employees such as the receptionist, and when other health practitioners provide personal information to Telley Psychology, via referrals, correspondence and medical reports.

Consequence of not providing personal information

If the client does not wish for their personal information to be collected in a way anticipated by this Privacy Policy, Telley Psychology may not be in a position to provide the psychological service to the client. Clients may request to be anonymous or to use a pseudonym, unless it is impracticable for their psychologist to deal with the client or if the psychologist is required or authorised by law to deal with identified individuals. In most cases it will not be possible for the client to be anonymous or to use a pseudonym, however if the psychologist agrees to the client being anonymous or using a pseudonym, the client must pay consultation fees at the time of the appointment.

Purpose of holding personal information

A client's personal information is gathered and used for the purpose of providing psychological services, which includes assessing, diagnosing and treating a client's presenting issue. The personal information is retained in order to document what happens during sessions, and enables the psychologist to provide a relevant and informed psychological service.

Disclosure of personal information

Client personal information will remain confidential except when:

1. It is subpoenaed by a court; or
2. Failure to disclose the information would in the reasonable belief of your psychologist place a client or another person at serious risk to life, health or safety; or
3. The client's prior approval has been obtained to:
   1. provide a written report to another professional or agency, e.g., a GP or a lawyer; or
   2. discuss the material with another person, e.g. a parent, employer or health provider; or
   3. disclose the information in another way; or
4. you would reasonably expect your personal information to be disclosed to another professional or agency (e.g. your GP) and disclosure of your personal information to that third party is for a purpose which is directly related to the primary purpose for which your personal information was collected; or
5. disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by law. A client's personal information is not disclosed to overseas recipients, unless the client consents or such disclosure is otherwise required by law. Client personal information will not be used, sold, rented or disclosed for any other purpose.

Requests for access and correction to client information

At any stage clients may request to see and correct the personal information about them kept on file. The psychologist may discuss the contents with them and/or give them a copy, subject to the exceptions in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If satisfied that personal information is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, reasonable steps will be taken in the circumstances to ensure that this information is corrected. All requests by clients for access to or correction of personal information held about them should be lodged with your individual psychologist. These requests will be responded to in writing within 30 days, and an appointment will be made if necessary for clarification purposes.

Concerns

If clients have a concern about the management of their personal information, they may inform their psychologist. Upon request they can obtain a copy of the Australian Privacy Principles, which describe their rights and how their personal information should be handled. Ultimately, if clients wish to lodge a formal complaint about the use of, disclosure of, or access to, their personal information, they may do so with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner by phone on 1300 363 992, online at https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/making-a-privacy-complaint or by post to: Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, GPO Box 5218, Sydney, NSW 2001.
