Privacy Statement
The Gunning District Community & Health Service – GP Clinic collects personal information, including sensitive information about clients, staff and contractors before and during the course of an individual’s request for services from our facility.
This may be in writing, in an electronic form or in the course of conversations.
The primary purpose of collecting this information is to enable the organisation to provide our services to the individual and to enable the organisation to provide them with referral to other services that would be of benefit to them.
Some of the information we collect is to satisfy the organisation's legal obligations, particularly to enable the organisation to discharge its duty of care.
Laws governing or relating to the operation of a medical clinic require certain information to be collected and disclosed. These include relevant Health Records Acts, Health Act and other Public Health laws.
Health information about our clients, staff and contractors is sensitive information within the terms of the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act.
The GP Clinic from time to time discloses personal and sensitive information to others for administrative and health care related purposes including facilitating the receipt of additional services such as pathology, radiology, specialist opinions and services, other health organisations or providers, government departments such as Medicare or your health insurer.
Personal information collected from patients, staff and volunteers may be stored on electronic or other media outside of the organisation, such as in the 'cloud' which may mean that it resides on servers which are situated outside Australia.
The GP Clinic’s Privacy Policy sets out how a patient, staff member or contractor may seek access to personal information collected about them. However, there will be occasions when access is denied. For example, access would be denied where that access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, where access may result in a breach of the organisation’s duty of care to the individual or where an individual has provided information in confidence.
GP Clinic’s Privacy Policy also sets out how you may complain about a breach of privacy and how GP Clinic will deal with such a complaint.
If you provide GP Clinic with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts, we encourage you to inform them that you are disclosing that information to us and why, that they can access that information if they wish and that GP Clinic does not usually disclose this information to third parties.
Please see the Gunning District Community & Health Service GP Clinic Privacy Policy for more details which is available at reception.
