Website Privacy (Complete documentation available here)
Mater Misericordiae Health Services Brisbane Limited ACN 096 708 922 (the Mater) acknowledges and respects the privacy of individuals. This statement discloses our collection, use and disclosure of personal information practices in relation to the Mater website.
The Mater website may have links to other websites from time to time. Once you link to another site you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
Collection of Information
When you access the Mater website the Mater may record your server address, domain name, the date and time of your visit, the pages viewed, the information downloaded and the frequency of visits.
The Mater may also record information about the types of browsers that are being used to visit the Mater site. The Mater uses this information for website and system administration, including monitoring to prevent security breaches, to assist the Mater in further development and to improve the functionality of the site.
The Mater will only collect sensitive information if it is necessary for the Mater to be able to consider the application for employment that you make, and only then with your express consent.
As part of any application for employment process it may be necessary for the Mater to request and for you to provide additional information such as:
  1. Providing registration details including your email address.
  2. Providing a resume which will include your name, address, email address, telephone numbers, employment and educational history, etc.
Use of Personal Information
The Mater only uses personal information for the primary purpose of determining the suitability of an applicant for employment at the Mater.
Internally, the Mater has controls and procedures in place to ensure that the personal information the Mater collects remains confidential to those Mater staff who may need to access the information for the primary purpose. All of the Mater staff are trained in privacy and are bound by duties of confidentiality.
Disclosure of Personal Information
The Mater does not sell or trade in personal information, or allow third parties to use that personal information for their own purposes. The exception to this is where the Mater may be required by law to disclose certain information.
Security of Personal Information
The Mater will take reasonable steps to ensure that all information the Mater collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete, up to date, stored in a secure environment and accessed only by authorised persons. The Mater aims to achieve best industry practice in the security of personal information which the Mater holds.
It is the Mater's policy to destroy personal information once there is no longer a legal or business need for the Mater to retain such information.
Access, Correction and Concerns
The Mater will provide access to personal information upon request by an individual, unless a request is unreasonable and the National Privacy Principles would permit us to decline that access (eg. where granting access would infringe another person's privacy or where the request for access is frivolous or vexatious).
If you believe that the information the Mater holds about you is incorrect, or if you have concerns about how the Mater is handling your personal information, or you want to organise access to the information the Mater holds about you, please contact: Luke Morton.
