Advertising and professional conduct
As a registered psychologist, Megan Fielding is bound by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and the Psychology Board of Australia’s Code of Conduct, including the Guidelines for advertising a regulated health service. In line with these obligations, content on this website will not be false, misleading or deceptive, will not use testimonials about clinical aspects of our services, will not create an unreasonable expectation of benefit or guarantee any particular outcome, and will not encourage unnecessary use of our services.

Exclusion of competitors
If you provide similar services (for example, psychological assessment or therapy services, or related documents or resources) for a fee, you are a competitor of FFP. We do not permit competitors to use, download, or obtain through a third party, any documents or information from this website. If you breach this term, FFP may hold you responsible for any resulting loss, and reserves the right to deny any person access to our website, services or information at our discretion.

Exclusion of unenforceable terms
If any clause of these terms is found to be illegal, void or unenforceable in any State or Territory, that clause will not apply in that State or Territory and will be treated as never having been included there, without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms or the clause’s application in other States or Territories.
