Our practice will need to collect your personal information to provide healthcare services to you.

Our practice may collect your personal information in several different ways.
We may be required to share your personal information:
Only people who need to access your information will be able to do so. Other than in the course of providing medical services or as otherwise described in this policy, our practice will not share personal information with any third party without your consent. We will not share your personal information with anyone outside Australia (unless under exceptional circumstances that are permitted by law) without your consent.
Your personal information may be stored at our practice electronically. All personal information is stored securely. Electronic records are stored on protected information systems with passwords on all computers and medical programs.
