Terms Conditions and Disclaimers
Our terms and conditions are designed to ensure transparency for all customers with regards to policies, procedures and conduct.
Code of conduct and standards of practice
As a Registered Nurse I am bound by a code of conduct and standards of practice. As dictated by my governing body APRAH. These can be viewed on the APRAH website https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/Codes- Guidelines.aspx
It is also a requirement that I undertake annual continuing professional development to enable me to continue to provide the most up to date, evidence-based practice.
Consultations and guides
Services of the The Mother Hood Project include consultations with families and the provision of written material as our ‘guides’. Through these services we endeavour to provide only the most up to date, evidence-based information and care. Each and every consultation will be tailored to the clients' specific needs.
Information in the written guides is of a general nature and does not take the place of professional or medical advice. There is no right or wrong when it comes to what works for you and your family, so please remember to adapt advice to your needs accordingly. Always follow the advice of your doctor or maternal and child health nurse with regard to specific health-related issues for your child and consult a medical professional with any concerns you may have.
We do not provide any guarantees and assume no legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, currency or completeness of the information. You should obtain advice relevant to your particular circumstances from a health professional.

Cancellations, refund policy, alternate appointment times and returns
The Mother Hood Project does not offer a change of mind refund or exchange on our products and services. Due to the nature of the work and the unpredictable nature of newborns we understand that the unexpected can happen, so rescheduling of appointment times will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We will do our best to find an alternative dates and times for you in this instance. If for any reason a face to face session is not possible, or at the client's preference, consultations can be provided where appropriate via zoom at no altered cost.
Consultation cancellation or rescheduling
The Mother Hood Project reserves the right to cancel or arrange alternative date or times for consultations. Under these circumstances, we will endeavour to provide notice of the cancellation and will arrange an alternative time for consultations.
Shipping
Whilst majority of products are exchanged electronically, the purchase of gift vouchers as physical gift card will come with free postage within Australia. International shipping will come with a small associated cost as per Australia post. Items will be posted next working day via standard post.
Consultation bookings
With regard to phone consultations these will be made for a specific time and date. With regard to home visits date will be confirmed but only an approximate time will be booked in. Consultation times will be confirmed based on babies routine, as we endeavour to be present (dependent on need) for baby's feed, awake time and then to help settle them to sleep.
Payment
Clients will be invoiced for services required. Full payment is required at the time of booking. This will be via electronic bank transfer. Once payment has been received clients will receive electronic guides associated via email.
Preventing the spread of disease and COVID-19
The safety and well-being of clients is our priority. Especially due to the nature of working with small babies. We are fully vaccinated, not just for COVID-19 but for all scheduled immunisations, including up to date Pertussis (whooping cough). I will be actively monitoring the coronavirus situation and recommendations to take steps to help keep the community safe. Therefore it is recommended for this time masks be worn throughout consultations where able, when social distancing is not possible.
Confidentiality and privacy policy

In alignment of my ethical obligation as a Nurse l will hold information about you in confidence, unless the release of said information is needed by law, legally justifiable under public interest considerations or is required to facilitate emergency care.
