Forms required before your first appointment

You can print the forms and fill out in your hand writing, if so preferred. However, you can proceed paperless: as you open the downloaded files on your device, you’ll see the required fields to type in, and then you can sign electronically. You’ll see a note embedded in the form, (right next to the location of the required signature). That note will explain what tool to choose on the screen, and how to electronically sign it. Don’t forget to save your changes before closing the file, and please note, that after you sign, no more changes can be done to it, so please finish editing before you sign.
Please fax the forms over to Ariella on 03 8595 5179 before the date of your first appointment.
You can fax the forms to Ariella using the free secured fax service at www.fax.plus Otherwise, you can use any fax service that’s available to you.

How to set up for a video consultation
To access video consultations you will need a quiet, private space, to hold your conversation; and the appropriate device, i.e. smartphone, or laptop, or iPad, or computer, with a camera, microphone and speakers; and a reliable broadband internet connection.
You will get an email or a text message with an invite to a video meeting with Ariella, and if needed, it will explain the steps you’ll need to follow in order to enter the video meeting. At the time of your appointment, if you have any technical issues while trying to connect, please call Ariella on 0421 006 114 to indicate that you are having problems to connect.
If you do not have the appropriate device for a video meeting, or, if the device is temporarily out of use, or if the internet connection is failing, the replacement of the video meeting will be a phone conversation.
A video consultation may be subject to limitations such as an unstable network connection. You will be asked to hold your phone within reach, for the duration of your consultation, to allow a quick transfer to a phone conversation if needed.
Fees
A standard fee of $200 applies to a session of consultation with duration of 50-55 minutes, for face to face, or via phone, or video.
