Who We Are

We do not give information about you to other government agencies, organisations or anyone else unless one of the following applies:

  • you have consented
  • you’d expect us to or
  • we have told you we will
  • it is required or authorised by law
  • it will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life or health or the disclosure is reasonably necessary for law enforcement or for the protection of public revenue.

We analyse non-identifiable website traffic data to improve our services.

Your Choices

You may access personal information that we hold about you or you can ask us to correct personal information we hold about you.

We abide by the Information Privacy Principles of the Privacy Act 1988. Our website follows the Privacy Commissioner’s Guidelines for Federal and ACT Government Websites.

Confidentiality

Any personal information gathered during the course of your therapy will remain strictly confidential. Without your consent, your information will not be discussed with any third party including partners, family members, GPs or other health professionals. Exceptions to confidentiality include: if your file is subpoenaed by a court of law; if we have concerns relating to child protection issues; or if we have reason to believe that you, or someone else, may be at risk of harm. Wherever possible, any concerns of this nature would be discussed with you first.

Please note that mental health care plan referrals form part of a ‘shared care’ model, which means your psychologist and referring GP are required to communicate with each other regarding your therapy. You are welcome to view any correspondence about you, and your signed consent is sought prior to the Psychologist communicating with your referring GP.
