As part of providing a psychological service to you, I need to collect and record personal
information from you that is relevant to your situation, such as your name, contact information, medical history and other relevant information as part of providing psychological services to you.
This collection of personal information will be a necessary part of the psychological assessment, diagnosis and treatment that is conducted, and enables the provision of the most appropriate support.
Your personal information is retained in order to document what happens during
sessions, and enables me to provide a relevant and informed psychological service to
you. All personal information gathered during the provision of the psychological service will
not be disclosed except when:
- It is subpoenaed by a court; or
- failure to disclose the information would, in the reasonable belief of your psychologist
place you or another person at serious risk to life, health or safety; or - your prior approval has been obtained to
a) provide a written report to another professional or agency. e.g. a GP or Lawyer
or
b) discuss the material with another person, e.g. a parent, employer, school
counsellor or health provider; or
c) disclose the information in another way; or - Disclosure is otherwise required by law.
Your personal information will not be used, sold, rented or disclosed for any other
purpose.
