Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us.

We pride ourselves on our non-judgmental approach and strict adherence to patient confidentiality.

 We will share information with other health professionals if you would like this, not automatically.

As no referral is required to use our services, there is no obligation or requirement to tell anyone you have been to see us.

​We have state-of-the-art IT systems to protect and maintain our electronic information systems, and are a paperless practice. Any hard copy of patient-related documentation is shredded on-site.

​We will never sell or share any of your personal information such as email address, phone number etc.

 We will not leave messages on your phone if you do not answer, other than to say that someone from the clinic has tried to contact you.

​We will not process any Medicare payments on your behalf, if you prefer not to use Medicare.

 We will never speak with anyone, other than you personally, regarding your attendance or follow-up at our clinic.

The Australian Department of Health and Ageing, will set up your Personal Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR). You can choose what information, on your health record, can be shared between health professionals. If you would like us to upload an event summary or shared summary, when you attend our clinic, we can. We will only do this at your request, and will not upload information without your permission.
