House of Calm can’t wait to provide services to meet your organising needs! During your initial and subsequent consultations we will work with you to determine what our services will be in your home or office. By booking in with us, you agree to these terms and conditions.

Your Initial Consultation
We have lots of clients to look after, so we need you to lock us in! A non-refundable payment of $121 inclusive of GST is required to secure your initial 30 minute consultation.
Should you need to reschedule your confirmed initial consultation, 48 hours’ notice is required directly to House of Calm via phone or email. Your payment will be retained to secure your new booking. If you don’t give us 48 hours’ notice we will have no obligation to return your initial payment.
Subsequent Consultations
We charge $99.00/ph inclusive of GST, with a minimum of 4 hours per consult.
As a small business, we need 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a booking. A deposit of the full quoted fee is required within 24 hours to secure your booking. Should you reschedule or cancel a booking less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled job time, your deposit will be forfeited. If you reschedule a booking more than three times, your deposit will be forfeited.
Project Management
Our Project Management fee is designed to cover the labour costs associated with product research and personal shopping at $99/ph inclusive of GST. This fee is included in your final invoice based on the total hours dedicated to project management tasks.
