Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains our personal information handling practices including the types of information which we collect, what that information is used for, and to whom that information may be disclosed.
It applies to our personal information handling practices generally as well as to the information collected on the website (http://vitalityworks.com.au, or http://healthyworker.com.au) (Website) or through any on-line registration processes you complete with us.
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to your personal information, which means information that identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can reasonably be ascertained. Your name, address and telephone number are examples of personal information.
Personal information
We only collect personal information that is necessary for our functions and activities.

If you have an adverse event following immunisation, we may need to collect some additional information, including your Medicare number.
Generally, we try to collect personal information directly from you. As appropriate, Vitality Works may also collect information from a third party, including a health professional or medical adviser that we have engaged for the purposes of providing health or wellness services to you. In either case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which the information is collected.
In certain circumstances we may collect sensitive information such as health information. This information will only be used for the purposes of providing health services. We will only collect this information with your consent or otherwise in accordance with the law.
When you visit our Website, we may record certain information such as your server address, domain name, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for statistical and Website administration purposes only. To maintain visitor anonymity, we do not associate this information with records containing personal information.

- vaccinations;
- medical treatment and medical services;
- pre-employment medicals;
- occupational health and safety assessments;

- other health and wellness services.
With the exception of your health information that will only be used as reasonably necessary for our activities, we may collect and use your personal information for the purpose of telling you about products or services in which you might be interested. You may opt out of any such marketing communications by using the opt-out mechanism in the communication or by contacting us directly using the contact details below.
