Anyone can make a complaint and the service is free.
You can complain anonymously, confidentially or openly.
You can contact the Commission even if you haven’t spoken with your provider first.
Pets
If you have a non-service dog, please keep it restrained during our visit.
Our team does not clean animal waste, litter trays, or pet areas.
Minimum Service Hours
We have a 1-hour minimum service time for gardening & lawn care services.
Site Access
The Client agrees to provide Sistability with access to the property at all reasonable times required to perform the agreed services.
If access cannot be obtained and the Client (or their nominee) has not provided at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule the booking, a 100% cancellation fee will apply.
The Client is responsible for relocating any plants or furniture, as Sistability is not liable for any damage resulting from the movement of such items.
The Client must ensure a clear working area by removing trampolines, toys, rubbish, and animal waste.
If Sistability needs to clean the site before commencing work, additional charges will apply.
Weather Conditions
All bookings are contingent on weather conditions.
If inclement weather (i.e., conditions that make it unsafe or unreasonable for our team to work) occurs, bookings may need to be rescheduled or canceled.
Sistability reserves the right to reschedule or cancel bookings without prior notice due to weather-related disruptions.
Work Health & Safety
If our team feels unsafe, they may leave, and full charges will still apply.
