Fees are implemented to encourage attendance or give notice if patients cannot attend appointments to prevent long wait times for other patients and poor dietitian resource utilisation.
Additionally, the fees are to recoup lost revenue. As a small business, fees are used for operating costs including insurance premiums, registrations and accreditation, equipment, utilities, website and marketing fees and wages.
