Privacy Policy
Centacare wants to make sure that those who use our services are
always treated with dignity and respect. We believe that by
respecting your right to privacy and by safeguarding the personal
information that you entrust to us, we are demonstrating our regard
for you. Therefore we wish to outline for you the privacy policy
that we follow in this agency.
It is assumed that your privacy rights will be held paramount unless
there are serious moral or legal requirements to the contrary i.e.,
in a medical emergency. At all times we will aim to balance the
rights of individuals to maintain control over their personal
information with our various moral, legal, and professional
obligations.
We are legally required to follow some specific privacy procedures
in order to be compliant with our contractual obligations to a range
of Government Departments.
Our whole organisation is also obliged to adhere to the sections of
the Privacy Act 1988 that relate to the Private Sector. As we have
not established a separate Privacy Code we have developed our
privacy procedures around the requirements of the National Privacy
Principles which are set out in the Privacy Act 1988. Our policy is
also based on the Guidelines to the National Privacy Principles,
which were issued by the Federal Privacy Commissioner in September
2001.
