Stage & Mind Psychology is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care and respect.
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed when you visit the Stage & Mind Psychology website or contact me about psychological services.
Stage & Mind Psychology operates in Australia and handles personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as the professional and ethical obligations that apply to registered psychologists.

You can browse this website without providing personal information.
If you choose to contact Stage & Mind Psychology through the website or by email, I may collect information such as:
your name;
email address;
phone number;

any other information you choose to include in your enquiry.
Please avoid including sensitive or highly personal information in website enquiry forms or general email correspondence unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
I do not ask you to provide detailed health or clinical information through this website.

Personal information provided through this website may be used to:
respond to your enquiry;
provide information about psychological services;
communicate with you about an enquiry or potential appointment;
arrange an initial appointment or intake process where appropriate;
maintain appropriate administrative records; and
meet relevant legal, regulatory and professional obligations.
I will generally only use your information for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a directly related purpose that you would reasonably expect.
3. Contacting Stage & Mind Psychology
If you contact Stage & Mind Psychology by email or through a website enquiry form, your message and contact details may be retained for an appropriate period for administrative, professional and legal purposes.
Please be aware that email and website communication may not be completely secure. For this reason, please do not use email or website forms to provide information that is highly sensitive, urgent or requires immediate clinical attention.
Submitting an enquiry does not establish a psychologist-client relationship.
4. Disclosure of personal information
Stage & Mind Psychology will not sell your personal information.
Your personal information will generally only be disclosed where:
you have provided consent;
disclosure is reasonably necessary for providing a service to you;
disclosure is required or authorised by law;
disclosure is necessary to meet professional, regulatory or legal obligations; or
disclosure is necessary in circumstances where there is a serious and imminent risk to your life, health or safety, or the life, health or safety of another person, where permitted or required by law.
Where third-party service providers are used to support the operation of the practice, information may be accessible to those providers where necessary for the service they provide. Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information in these circumstances.
5. Clinical information and practice systems
The Stage & Mind Psychology website is primarily used to provide information about psychological services and to receive general enquiries.
Sensitive clinical information is not intended to be collected through the website.
If you become a client of Stage & Mind Psychology, your personal and health information will be managed through Halaxy, a practice management platform used by healthcare professionals. Halaxy may be used to manage appointments, client records, clinical documentation, invoices, communications and other administrative aspects of providing psychological services.
Personal and health information collected as part of psychological services will be handled in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, the Australian Privacy Principles and the professional and ethical obligations that apply to registered psychologists.
Halaxy has its own privacy policy and terms governing its handling of information. You can review these through the Halaxy website.
6. Third-party platforms and service providers
Stage & Mind Psychology uses third-party technology providers to support the operation of the website and practice. These may include website hosting, email, online forms, practice management, payment, telehealth and document-storage services.
The Stage & Mind Psychology website is hosted through Squarespace.
Where third-party services are used, those providers may collect or process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms of service.
Some technology providers may store or process information outside Australia, or information may be transmitted internationally as part of their infrastructure. Where this occurs, reasonable steps are taken to consider privacy and security when selecting and using these services.
