It is necessary for Alzheimer's Australia to collect and record some of your personal information to provide the best possible service.
- Any information you provide will be treated confidentially.
- In general, Alzheimer's Australia will not disclose your personal information to anyone without your consent.
- If you are receiving counselling or support services there are times your personal information may be shared with other counsellors or support workers so that the best advice and support available can be provided.
- There are also occasions, though uncommon, when the law requires confidential information to be disclosed. This might occur when the health or wellbeing of a person is threatened and thus there is a strong public interest in disclosing that information.
Your counsellor or support worker will answer any questions you have about this. You may remain anonymous if you prefer.
For more information, see the section Alzheimer's Australia Policy & Practice Guidelines.
