Privacy Notice

Australian Privacy Notice

Our team is committed to privacy standards that protect, support, and empower the privacy rights of Australians. Below we have provided a summary of how we integrate this philosophy into our service design and delivery.

Our privacy protocols

Our suite of services is built on a desire to ensure that health information / service requests are done so in a way that protects the privacy of the individuals involved. We’re consumers of health services too, and we would want our information to be treated respectfully – so we apply that same standard to our processes.
Here we have provided you with some additional specifics regarding how we ensure your personal information is treated in accordance with Australian privacy legislation.
