2. Scope
This Policy applies to personal information collected through our website at ctp.doctor, online enquiry and booking forms (including forms processed via our customer relationship tools, such as HubSpot), electronic communications, phone enquiries, and related business activities.
It also applies to employees, contractors, and third parties who handle personal information on our behalf.
3. Definitions
Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not.
Sensitive information includes health information and other sensitive categories defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Health information means information about an individual's health, disability, or the provision of a health service to the individual.
4. Collection of Personal Information
We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our functions and activities — including responding to enquiries, coordinating appointments, and facilitating referrals relating to motor vehicle accident injuries and NSW CTP pathways.
Types of information may include:
- Full name and contact details (email, phone number, address if provided);
- Information about injury type, claim status, preferred appointment times, and treatment or referral needs;
- Communications with our staff and content you include in forms or emails;
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and website usage (see Analytics and Cookies below).
Where you voluntarily provide health-related details in a form or message, we treat that information in line with this Policy and applicable health privacy obligations.
5. Method of Collection
We usually collect personal information:
- Directly from you when you submit forms, book online, call, or email;
- When you interact with our website (including cookies and analytics); and
- From third parties only where permitted by law or where you have consented (for example, a referral with your agreement).
6. Purpose of Collection, Use, and Disclosure
We collect, hold, use, and disclose personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and manage appointment and booking requests;
- Coordinate referrals to medical practitioners, allied health providers, and, where relevant, legal practitioners you choose to engage;
- Maintain business records and manage our relationship with you;
- Comply with legislative and regulatory requirements;
- Handle complaints, quality assurance, and internal audits; and
- Improve our services, including analysis that uses de-identified or aggregated data where appropriate.
7. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
We may disclose personal information to:
- Healthcare professionals, allied health providers, and legal practitioners involved in your care or referral, where you have requested or consented to that coordination;
- Service providers who assist us to operate the website and business (for example hosting, IT support, form/CRM platforms such as HubSpot, and analytics), under contractual confidentiality and privacy obligations;
- Insurers, regulators, or authorities where required or authorised by law.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
8. Cross-Border Disclosure
Some of our service providers (including cloud or CRM platforms) may store or process data in Australia or overseas. Where personal information is sent outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle it in line with the APPs, where required by law.
9. Data Security
We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we hold, including access controls, secure transmission where available, and confidentiality expectations for staff and contractors. No online system is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords and caution when submitting sensitive information.
10. Data Retention and Destruction
We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. When no longer required, we take steps to delete or de-identify it in line with APP 11.
