Our telehealth services are not designed for medical emergencies. Do not use the patient portal or wait for a scheduled consultation in an emergency.
1. Who we are
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Elevate For Her website, patient portal, telehealth consultations and related services (together, the "Services"), provided by Rowe Healthcare Group Pty Ltd (ABN 16 695 432 298), trading as Elevate For Her ("we", "us" or "our").
Our registered address is Sydney NSW 2000. You can reach us at [email protected].
By using the Services, booking a consultation, or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
2. What our services are (and what they are not)
We provide telehealth consultations delivered by clinicians registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Our clinicians may assess your suitability for treatment, develop clinical care plans, prescribe medications where clinically appropriate, arrange pathology or imaging, and provide ongoing clinical support.
Our Services are consultation and assessment services. We do not directly manufacture, compound or dispense medications. Prescribed medications are dispensed by our partner pharmacy in accordance with applicable laws.
Telehealth is appropriate for many conditions, but not all. If your clinician considers that in-person care, a different clinical pathway, or hospital care is more appropriate, they will advise you accordingly and may provide a referral.
3. Eligibility
To use the Services, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Be a current resident of Australia with a valid Australian address
- Have legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under Australian law
- Provide accurate, complete and current information about yourself and your health
We may decline to provide Services or terminate your account if you do not meet these requirements, or if providing care would not be clinically appropriate in the judgment of your treating clinician.
4. Prescription is not a guaranteed outcome
A consultation does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued. Prescriptions are issued at the sole clinical discretion of your treating clinician and only where the clinician determines it is clinically appropriate for you.
Your clinician is required to exercise independent professional judgment in accordance with their obligations under AHPRA, the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, and applicable clinical guidelines. They may determine that a prescription is not suitable for you, that further investigation is needed, or that an alternative treatment pathway is more appropriate.
The consultation fee covers the clinical assessment and the clinician's time, regardless of whether a prescription is issued as an outcome.
5. Consultations and your responsibilities
Clinical decisions are made by your treating clinician based on the information you provide, their professional judgment, and applicable clinical guidelines. You agree to:
- Provide complete and accurate information about your health, medical history, current medications and lifestyle
- Follow your clinician's advice and treatment plan, or communicate clearly if you choose not to
- Report any side effects, adverse reactions or concerns through the patient portal or by contacting our care team
- Attend scheduled follow-up appointments, or reschedule in advance if you are unable to attend
- Inform your clinician of any other practitioners involved in your care
You may refuse, pause or stop any recommended treatment at any time. We will not charge exit fees for doing so, but fees already paid for services delivered are non-refundable unless required by the Australian Consumer Law.
6. Limits of confidentiality and mandatory reporting
Your consultations are confidential. However, there are limited circumstances in which your clinician is legally required or authorised to disclose information without your consent. These include:
- Risk of harm: Where your clinician reasonably believes that disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of you or another person, or to public health or safety.
- Child protection: Where your clinician forms a reasonable belief that a child is at risk of significant harm, they are required to report this to the relevant child protection authority under applicable state or territory mandatory reporting legislation.
- AHPRA notifications: Where your clinician has a reasonable belief that a registered health practitioner has behaved in a way that constitutes notifiable conduct under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, they are required to notify AHPRA.
- Court orders and legal processes: Where disclosure is required by a court order, subpoena, or other legal process.
- Statutory and regulatory obligations: Where disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by Australian law.
Your clinician will limit any disclosure to the minimum information reasonably necessary in the circumstances.
7. Prescriptions and medications
Where your clinician determines that a prescription is clinically appropriate, it will be issued in accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) requirements, the Pharmacy Board of Australia guidelines, and relevant state and territory legislation.
Medications are dispensed by our partner pharmacy, a licensed Australian pharmacy. All medications are supplied only where clinically indicated for your individual needs.
You must not share, sell, redistribute, or provide your prescribed medications to any other person. Medications are prescribed for your individual clinical use only.
8. Fees and payment
Fees for consultations, treatment plans and medications are displayed before you confirm your booking or order. All fees are in Australian dollars and include GST where applicable.
Payment is processed through our secure third-party payment provider. By submitting payment, you authorise us to charge the nominated payment method for the agreed amount. We do not store full card details on our servers.
Consultations are generally not bulk-billed through Medicare. Some consultations may attract a Medicare rebate, and some private health funds may rebate a portion of telehealth fees or medications. Suitability and rebate amounts depend on your individual circumstances and your fund. We make no representations about your suitability for any rebate.
9. Cancellation policy
You may reschedule or cancel a consultation through the patient portal. The following cancellation fees apply:
- More than 24 hours before your appointment: No cancellation fee. Full refund or free rescheduling.
- Less than 24 hours before your appointment: A late cancellation fee of 50% of the consultation fee applies.
- No-show (failure to attend without notice): The full consultation fee applies with no refund.
We understand that unexpected circumstances arise. If you have a genuine reason for a late cancellation (for example, a medical emergency), please contact us and we will consider your situation on a case-by-case basis.
You have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, including in relation to services that are not provided with due care and skill. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights. To request a refund, contact us at [email protected].
