FINANCIAL AGREEMENT 

 

ALL COSTS ARE PAYABLE BEFORE SCHEDULED SUPERVISED CONTACT OR OTHER SERVICES 

​

I am financially responsible for this service, agree to the following: 

  • That I will pay the invoiced costs into SVN’s bank account at least 48 hours prior to each contact or service. 

  • I will incur a late cancellation fee if SVN is NOT notified of cancellation earlier than 5pm the day before a weekday contact and earlier than 5pm the Friday before a weekend contact (please refer to the SVN price list information for late cancellation policy). 

  • I agree that I remain responsible for payment in full in the event that a contact visit is terminated due to a conduct breach on my part during a visit. I understand that I am financially responsible if a cancellation is made by either party and any disputes will be discussed with the other party via legal representation or appropriate channels of communication. 

  • I agree to notify SVN office personnel by email/phone/fax when payment has been made. This will ensure that SVN has enough time to put the necessary arrangements in place to facilitate your contact visit (eg arrange for a Contact Supervisor). Failure to make payment in time may result in a visit being delayed/postponed or cancelled. 

  • I will incur an Administration Fee (refer to price list) at SVN discretion if the work undertaken on behalf of my family falls outside the standard scheduling and administration obligations for arranging and facilitating contact supervision. 

  • I understand that SVN personnel/Supervisor will seek to encourage and motivate a child/ren to participate in a visit. SVN personnel/Contact Supervisors and Carers are not permitted to use force or undue coercion to cause a child/ren to attend or participate in a contact visit. I agree that I remain responsible for payment in full in the event of a contact visit not proceeding due to termination, a child/ren not willing to attend, or in other instances such as illness where it is considered by either the Contact Supervision or Carer as not being appropriate. 

  • I am aware that SVN will cease all contact supervision services; and undertake debt recovery (legal) action against me in the event that I fail to pay my account.
