Privacy Policy

Leichhardt Eyecare respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how you can access or correct it.

As a health service provider, we’re required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and with the Health Privacy Principles under the NSW Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002, regardless of the size of our business.

What we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, contact details, appointment preferences, and health information relevant to your eye care, such as your prescription history and clinical notes from consultations.

How we collect it

We collect information when you contact us by phone, email, or through our website, when you book an appointment, including through our online booking system, and during your consultations in practice.

Why we collect it

We use your information to book and manage appointments, provide eye care services, respond to enquiries, and meet our legal and professional obligations as a health service provider.

Disclosure

We don’t sell your personal information. We may share it with:

  • other health professionals, only with your consent, for example when referring you to another specialist
  • regulators or authorities, where required by law
