We require your consent to collect personal information about your child. Our practice collects information from you for the primary purpose of providing quality health care to your child. We require you to provide us with personal details and a full medical history so that we may properly assess, diagnose, treat and be proactive in your child's health care needs. We will use your child's medical records: 1. In your medical treatment. This may include disclosure to individuals who are directly involved in your child's health care such as your child's General Practitioner, other treating doctors and any third party that is appropriately involved with your child's care. If we refer your child to another healthcare professional we will disclose relevant information to them about your child's personal details and health. 2. To conduct practice audit and medical research. In this case all data is analysed without including your identifying personal details. Audit and research are important in maintaining high standards of medical practice. Audit of surgical practice is a requirement of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. 3. To meet a legal requirement – for instance, if we are issued with a subpoena or summons. Our practice fully complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 (Cth), the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) and the My Heath Records Act (2012).
