​
Do I get to use the Melbourne Shiatsu point of sale?
Unless otherwise agreed it is expected that each practitioner bring their own point of sale device or at least have a Square Up account to log into as well as their own online Gift cards link if the practitioner wants people to be able to redeem gift cards. For the new practitioner that doesn't have their own POS here is a link that will give $1000 in free processing through Square up.

​
Can I rent it out long term or on a regular basis?
Yes, availability dependent, the rooms can be hired on a regular basis. Please feel free to discuss this with Dan.
​
Do I have to be GST registered?
No, since each practitioner is dealing with their own point of sale, then GST registration is dependent on individual circumstances.
​
Is there HICAPS for use available?
No, at the point of writing this list there is not. Demand may change this so please feel free to discuss. Until then each practitioner will be expected to provide receipts to their clients with their provider numbers so the client can claim online.
​
What is your cancellation policy?
A minimum of 48 hours notice is required if you wish to cancel a casual room hire, otherwise the full hire fee applies. Long term agreements will be done by contract. They will work as regular deductions and it is the responsibility of the renter to pay their regular instalments to keep the space.
​
What about covid?
Practitioners are expected to have their own Covid safe plan and abide by the buildings covid safe practices. It is also expected that all practitioners who use Melbourne Shiatsu follow what is mandated by the state around their circumstances and make an active effort not to cause a covid outbreak at Melbourne Shiatsu. Rules may vary based on registration and or qualifications of each practitioner but at the point of writing this, as far as is understood, practitioners considered clinical who don't have mask exemptions are expected to wear masks and must be vaccinated, clients are not expected to wear masks or be vaccinated unless the practitioner is considered personal care but then the practitioner is only suggested to where a mask but must be vaccinated. The rules change regularly and can be confusing. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to know what the rules are for them.
