| We collect information that is necessary to provide patients with health care services. Often this includes collecting information about health history, family history, ethnic background or current lifestyle to assist the health care team in treating the patient’s condition.
SPDS are committed to ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of patients’ personal information. SPDS must comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Privacy Amendment Act 2012 (Cth) which govern how private sector health service providers like SPDS handle patients’ personal information, including health information. You can read our Privacy Policy below. A condensed version of our Privacy Policy is on public display at SPDS (see Policy 1.4.1 Privacy Policy (Condensed)). |
