We take the protection of your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out how we deal with your personal information, in line with the ANZACATA Code of Conduct, and how you can access your personal data.

Examples of these activities include but not limited to review of treatment records to ensure appropriate care, electronic or mail delivery of billing for treatment to you or other authorised payers, appointment reminder telephone calls, and records review to ensure completeness and quality of care. Use and disclosure of these records is limited to internal use outlined above except required by law.
