What is Personal Information?

‘Personal information’ is any information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable from the information or opinion ascertained. Examples include an individual’s name, address, contact number and email address.
Collection of Personal Information
To the extent required by the Privacy Act:
BMT-SM will not collect personal information about you unless that information is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities.
BMT-SM will collect personal information only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive manner.

When BMT-SM collects personal information directly from you, we will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that you are aware of the purposes of collection, any other organisations (or types of organisations) to which we would usually disclose information of that kind, detail on how you access the information and how to contact us.

Use and Disclosure of Personal and Health Information by BMT-SM

The personal information you provide to BMT-SM will be collected for the primary purpose of providing high quality health care. If BMT-SM uses or discloses your personal and/or health information for a purpose (secondary purpose) other than the main reason for which it was originally collected (primary purpose), to the extent required by the Privacy Act, we will ensure that:

The secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose (and directly related in the case of sensitive information) and you would reasonably expect that BMT-SM would use or disclose your information in that way;
You have consented to the use and disclosure of your personal and/or health information for the secondary purpose.

Where required, personal will be disclosed as required or authorized by or under law or as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
