Privacy Policy

WA Workplace Vaccinations (WAWV) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information. This policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Collection of Personal Information

We collect personal information necessary to provide workplace vaccination services, including but not limited to, name, contact details, date of birth, and health information related to your vaccination history. Collection of this information is essential for us to provide our services effectively and comply with public health requirements.

Use of Personal Information

Your personal information is used to:

  • Schedule, record, and manage vaccinations.
  • Communicate with you about your vaccination appointments and reminders.
  • Upload vaccination records to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) as required by law.

Consent

By receiving a vaccine from us or providing your personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined in this privacy policy. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but this may affect our ability to provide you with our services.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Your personal information may be disclosed to:

The personal information we hold is stored in a secure manner.

We may need to disclose personal information to those third-party providers for the service of your needs.
