Our Policies
Our policies set out how we keep your personal information private, our terms and conditions, how material on our website should be used, and how we make our website accessible for everyone.
Indigo is committed to respecting your privacy by complying with our obligations under the Privacy Amendment Act 1988, 2023 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Privacy Collection Statement
This Privacy Collection Statement applies to the collection of personal information from customers of Indigo Australasia Incorporated. This statement outlines our approach to handling your personal information and sets out your rights to seek access to and correction of your personal information and your right to complain if you think your privacy has been breached.
By agreeing to receive services from Indigo you consent to the collection, use and storage of your information as defined in this Privacy Collection statement.
Why do we collect your personal information?
Indigo collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information for a number of purposes including:
- to help you receive the right care and services for your needs;
- managing our business including quality assurance and record keeping purposes;
- to evaluate and improve our services, including managing complaints and incidents;
- to meet our contractual obligations and legislation requirements;
- to inform you of our services that may be of interest to you; and
- for account and billing purposes.
If you are not able to provide us with the personal information we have requested, this may prevent us from being able to assist you fully or provide you with the care and services you are seeking from our organisation.
How do we collect your personal information?
Personal information is collected in various ways; by telephone, face to face, through our website and online forms, emails and online portals.
Wherever possible Indigo will collect your personal information directly from you. Sometimes it may be necessary for us to collect your personal information from a third party who is legally permitted to disclose it to us (for example, your carer, family member, allied health professional or general practitioner). If this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to make sure you are aware of the purpose for which the information was obtained and how it will be used and disclosed. Other care providers may also share your personal information with us when they refer you to us for service.
All Indigo client records are contained within our client management system and are stored within Australia.
Sharing your personal information
Indigo respects your privacy and we will take reasonable steps to keep your personal information strictly confidential. Indigo employees will not disclose your personal information with a third party, without your consent.
Sometimes we may need to share your personal information with other organisations to provide you with the appropriate care, or to meet legislative requirement, including:
- other health professionals involved in your care including prescribers of any equipment you may require;
- equipment suppliers for the purpose of providing you with goods and services;
- government and regulatory bodies; and
- advisors such as auditors and credit agencies.
We will never share or sell your personal information for commercial use.
Research and Quality
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly review, trial and evaluate new products, services and models of care. To do this we may share your de-identified service information with our research and quality partners. We may also invite you to participate in satisfaction surveys and studies that examine care outcomes. This will help us to continually improve our services and ensure we are providing evidence-based, high-quality services and care.
