PRIVACY STATEMENT
Respite Now’s view on how we collect, use, exchange and protect information is important to us, our clients, partners and staff. Our Privacy Policy outlines how we do this in accordance with the Privacy Act and the National Privacy Principles (2014). This summary statement provides an overview
of our policy. Respite Now respects your privacy. We collect personal information from you such as your private contact details (personal data) and also information related to your health and personal care needs.
From time to time we will provide your personal, accommodation, health, nutrition and any disability details to staff within our company including personal care attendants (PCA) who may work with you. Further, we may need to communicate personal care and health information to any organisation who has referred to us; doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, aged care package owners etc. Equally we may be required to exchange information with Commonwealth and State Government departments.
To ensure our website is functioning correctly, at times we measure our website visiting statistics but no personal information is shared with any other person or organisation.

You can obtain this information by simply asking us personally or via an online request. If for legal reasons we are unable to disclose information to you then we inform you as to the reasons why.
As some of the information we have of yours is collected in the home environment, some of your personal care and health information is held in both hard copy and electronic formats which we take steps to safeguard from unauthorised access, misuse or disclosures.
Should you have any queries regarding your personal care or health information or how it is been managed or have a complaint, please feel free to contact us to discuss your concerns. Usually a prompt conversation can resolve issues quickly.
