Privacy Policy NeuroReach

1.Introduction

NeuroReach Australia (“NeuroReach”, “we”, “our”, “us”) takes your privacy seriously. We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use, share and store it when you use the NeuroReach Australia website, provider directory and Telehealth service.

2.Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use NeuroReach. It may include:

  • Your name and contact details
  • Details of the person you are enquiring for, if you are a family member or carer
  • Information you send through our contact form or by email
  • Telehealth booking and appointment details
  • Provider business details, such as practice name, address and fees
  • Provider qualifications, registration details and specialty areas
  • Referee details supplied by providers
  • Website and social media links
  • Website usage data and analytics
  • IP address, browser type and device details

The directory is not designed to collect detailed health information. Please do not include medical records, test results or a detailed health history in a general enquiry. Your provider will ask for what they need directly.

Where you book a Telehealth appointment through NeuroReach, we may need some basic health information, such as the reason for your appointment or whether you have a referral. We collect this only with your consent and only when it is needed to arrange your care.

3.How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Run, maintain and improve the website and directory
  • Review provider applications
  • Check provider qualifications and registration
  • Publish provider profiles
  • Pass your enquiry to the provider you have chosen
  • Arrange Telehealth appointments and bookings
  • Provide administrative help to providers
  • Reply to questions from patients, carers and providers
  • Keep the website working well and secure
  • Meet our legal obligations
  • Plan and build new services

We may also combine information so that no one can be identified, and use it for reporting, research and planning.

4.Provider Listings and Checks

By joining the directory, providers agree that NeuroReach may:

  • Review and check their professional details where we reasonably can
  • Publish the profile information they have approved
  • Edit profile content so it reads clearly and follows a consistent format
  • Promote the directory and listed providers on NeuroReach channels

We make reasonable efforts to check provider qualifications and experience. Even so, a provider’s details can change over time. Patients and carers should confirm anything important to their care directly with the provider.

5.Who We Share Information With

We may share personal information with:

  • The provider you contact or book with through NeuroReach
  • Companies that host our website or provide IT and administrative support
  • Booking, payment and Telehealth platforms we use
  • Government or regulatory bodies, where the law requires it
  • Anyone else, where the Australian privacy law allows it

Some of the services we use may store information on servers outside Australia. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information is handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

We never sell personal information.

6.Cookies and Analytics

The website may use:

  • Cookies
  • Analytics tools
  • Tracking technologies
  • Other similar tools

These help us understand how people use the website so we can make it faster and easier to use. You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but some parts of the website may not work as well.

7.Other Websites

The website may link to other websites, such as provider websites, booking tools and Telehealth platforms. NeuroReach does not control these websites and is not responsible for how they handle your information or what they contain. Please read their privacy policies before sharing your details.

8.Keeping Information Secure

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from:

  • Misuse
  • Loss
  • Unauthorised access
  • Interference
  • Changes made without permission
  • Disclosure

We keep information only for as long as we need it, and then delete it or remove anything that identifies you.

No website or online system can be completely secure. If a data breach is likely to cause serious harm, we will tell the people affected and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires.

9.Access and Correction

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting us using the details below. We may need to confirm who you are before we share or change any information. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days.

10. Future Paid Features

As NeuroReach grows, we may add:

  • Featured provider listings
  • Sponsored content
  • Advertising
  • Referral arrangements
  • Built-in booking and payment systems
  • Other paid services

If these changes affect how we handle personal information, we will update this Privacy Policy.

11.Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on the NeuroReach Australia website, with the date it was last updated.
