As part of providing this service to you, the psychologist will need to collect and record personal information for you that is relevant to your current situation. This information is a necessary part of the assessment and treatment that is conducted.
Confidentiality
Sessions and all client records are treated with strict confidentiality. Client files remain the property of Parental Stress Centre Pty Ltd and are kept secure at all times. Should it be necessary to discuss a client's case with another professional, family member or other relevant person, this will only be done with the client's consent as indicated here. Psychologists are legally and ethically obligated to protect clients and others from harm as per the APS Code of Ethics and may be required to disclose information to third parties in the following exceptional circumstances:
1. Failure to disclose the information would place you (the client) or another person at risk, and/or
2. The client's prior written approval has been obtained to
a) Provide a written report to another professional or agency, eg a GP or lawyer; and /or
b) Discuss the material with another person, eg a parent, partner, coach

I give my written approval for the practitioner to have contact with my GP, another professional or agency as per the reporting guidelines for my specific referral (eg mental health care plan etc) if applicable. I also give my permission for the practitioner to have contact with approved individuals, under the proviso that I will be asked what can be disclosed prior to contact being made.
Email contact -
As telehealth services are completed by phone or video conferencing, the practitioner will need to have email contact with the client. Please make sure when providing an email address that it is a private rather than a shared email address. Emails may be sent to arrange and/or confirm appointments, and, if required, to send payment receipts or file attachments relating to psychological material discussed in sessions that will assist in between sessions. No personal content discussed in session will be included in these emails. Please provide a secure email address you wish to be contacted on.
The client agrees, by providing an electronic signature or clicking acceptance of terms, provided at the time of booking their session, that you agree to the terms and conditions for the services provided for yourself, or as a Parent/Guardian on behalf of a child under 16 years of age.
Please read the above information and complete the consent document provided to indicate your understanding. I have read and understood the information in this Terms & Conditions document and will discuss any outstanding questions with my practitioner.
