Your Privacy: Our Policy
The provision of quality health care requires a doctor-patient relationship of trust and confidentiality. Consistent with our commitment to quality care, this practice has developed a policy to protect patient privacy in compliance with privacy legislation.
Our policy informs you:
That we need your consent to collect information about you
Why we need to collect that information
How your information will be used by us and to whom we may need to disclose it
That you may request access to the information that we hold about you
That you may discuss any concerns you have about how we handle your information
Privacy legislation came into effect in Australia on 21 December 2001 to regulate the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information by the private sector.

The following statement sets out how we handle your personal information and safeguard your privacy.
