What we collect

We gather only what is needed to deliver safe, effective preventive treatment — nothing more.

Personal details

Your name, date of birth, contact details and emergency contact, collected when you first book an appointment or join a workplace program.

Health information

Treatment history, screening outcomes, practitioner notes and referral letters — the clinical detail that keeps your care safe and continuous.

Website enquiries

Messages you send through our forms, plus standard technical data such as browser type, used to reply to you and keep the site secure.

How we use your information

Every use ties back to your care. We never sell or rent personal information.

Delivering your treatment

Planning appointments, tailoring preventive programs and coordinating care with your GP or specialist where you have asked us to.

Running the practice

Billing, Medicare and private-health administration, appointment reminders, and keeping the accurate clinical records the law requires.

Improving our service

De-identified feedback and aggregated statistics that help us refine programs for individuals and workplaces across Melbourne.

How we protect your information

Practical safeguards, reviewed regularly, cover every record we hold.

Security in practice

Digital records sit on encrypted, Australian-based systems with role-based access, and paper files are stored in locked cabinets. Staff complete confidentiality training, and records are destroyed securely once their legal retention period ends.

Your rights under the law

The Australian Privacy Principles and Victorian health privacy principles give you real, enforceable rights over your information.
