Refund and Returns Policy

Refund Policy for The ACFB Fund's ADHD and Autism Assessment Program

At The ACFB Fund, we are committed to providing high-quality services to individuals seeking ADHD and autism assessments. As part of our dedication to transparency and fairness, we have established the following refund policy for our ADHD and autism assessment program:

  1. No Refunds Policy: We do not provide refunds of any sort for our ADHD and autism assessment program. Once an individual or their guardian has enrolled in the program and payment has been processed, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.

  2. Payment Plan Commitment: Individuals who choose to participate in a payment plan for our ADHD and autism assessment program are entering into a commitment to fulfil all scheduled payments. If an individual fails to complete the payment plan for any reason, they will not be eligible for a refund of the amounts already paid.

  3. Understanding Commitment: By enrolling in our ADHD and autism assessment program or opting for a payment plan, individuals and their guardians acknowledge and agree to our no-refund policy, including the provision that incomplete payment plans do not qualify for refunds.

  4. Quality Assurance: The ACFB Fund is committed to delivering comprehensive and professional assessments by qualified professionals. In the rare event of dissatisfaction with our services, we encourage individuals and guardians to communicate directly with us to address any concerns or issues promptly.

  5. Exceptional Circumstances: While refunds are not standard practice for our ADHD and autism assessment program or payment plans, we acknowledge that exceptional circumstances may arise. In such cases, decisions regarding refunds will be made at the discretion of The ACFB Fund’s management team on a case-by-case basis.

  6. Contact Us: For any questions, clarifications, or concerns regarding our refund policy or the ADHD and autism assessment program, individuals and guardians are encouraged to contact our customer service team. We are here to assist and ensure a positive experience for all participants in our programs.

This refund policy is effective immediately and applies to all enrolments in The ACFB Fund’s ADHD and autism assessment program. We reserve the right to update or modify this policy at any time, with any changes being communicated to all stakeholders accordingly.

Thank you for entrusting The ACFB Fund with your assessment needs.

If you are looking for autism related funding through NASC/ Whaikaha then this is not the assessment for you at this time.

Whaikaha have changed their minds after years of accepting telehealth diagnoses and have said our diagnoses no longer meet their long list of strict criteria. We will be providing support to those who already received a diagnosis with us but are not sure about going forward if we will continue the higher requirements now set forth by Whaikaha. 

In the meantime, we are advocating to anyone and everyone who might be able to help us and would love your support as well. Please make a complaint. You can find more information on the Whaikaha website here.

The ACFB Fund is not a crisis counselling centre, and we cannot provide emergency services for active or prospective clients.

If you’re in a life-threatening situation or experiencing a mental health emergency, this service is not appropriate for you at this time. Instead, use the following helplines to get the support you need:

  • Lifeline New Zealand: 0800 543 354 (call or text)
  • Suicide Crisis Helpline: 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO)
  • 1737 – Need to Talk?: Free call or text 1737 to speak with a trained counsellor (available 24/7)
  • Healthline: 0800 611 116 (available 24/7)

These contacts are available for immediate crisis support and can help connect you to further assistance.
