Protection of Personal Information

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your personal information. Except as stated in this Privacy Statement or as except where permitted by law, such information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes without your consent. These exceptions include and are not limited to, data entry, data base management, alerts, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid), and providing customer service. We may disclose your information to our employees, officers, insurers, professional advisors, agents, suppliers, and contractors in so far as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement. We reserve the right to use or disclose the information, including personal information as needed to satisfy law, regulation or legal request, to protect the rights or property of us, or any member of the public, to fulfil your request, to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety.

Sharing Information

ACare WA sometimes engages third parties to perform services for our business and clients, and we may have to disclose personal information to facilitate these arrangements. This may include client related home care services, medical and allied health services, specialist care; and operations-related contractors and consultants to enable the performance of our services. ACare WA does not share any personal information to third parties without prior consent.

Our Website may contain links to Websites of other organisations which may be of interest to you. Their inclusion can not be taken to imply any endorsement or validation by us of the content of any third-party Website. Linked Websites are responsible for their own Privacy and Confidentiality Policies and you should review them accordingly. ACare WA does not accept any liability for the conduct of other organisations linked to our Website.

Access and Corrections to Your Personal Information

ACare WA reserves the right to refuse to provide you with information that we hold about you in certain circumstances as set out in the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth).

Changing and Deleting Personal Information About You

Your personal information may be deleted if you send a written request to our office via email [email protected]. Please allow 30 days for the request to be processed. We will process your request if it does not in any way interfere with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and or provided that such deletion does not amount to a violation or breach of any law, then we may consider taking such reasonable steps as we in our discretion decide to take in relation to your request to delete your personal information. Where we have agreed to delete your personal information, you accept that the result may mean we are unable to provide you with information or services relating to your enquiry or request. ACare WA is not responsible for removing your personal information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided with your information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Personal information is retained as required by various Commonwealth and State or Territory law and destroyed when no longer required.
