I agree that no refund is due where counseling has been completed. However, where a refund of a prepaid Consultation Plan is requested in writing, consultations completed under any plan will be charged at the standard rate of AUD$180 per hour and the balance of the plan, less bank charges, refunded by Gosling International cheque in AUD$ made payable to the name appearing on the debit card, credit card voucher, cheque drawer, or PayPal transaction and mailed to the last advised postal address.
