Privacy Policy

As health service providers, dental practices constantly handle sensitive health information. Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) practices are obliged to conform with certain key principles (as outlined in the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s)) to ensure patient health information is treated appropriately. ADA SA has prepared two template policy documents which outline the practical ways a dental practice can comply with their obligations and embed good practice around patient privacy in your everyday handling of patient health information.
