Who Are We?
We’re People Medical Consulting Pty Ltd – we collect your personal information from you for the purpose of assisting you in finding either a staff member, or a new job. Any and all information that we collect will be held by our staff members on both our server and is accessible on portable devices.

It’s important for you to know that we keep almost all of your information electronically and it is issued to our clients primarily in electronic form so there is always the risk associated with electronic transactions. We take precautions however to minimise risk as much as we can. Your personal information will not be sent to overseas recipients.
Wait, What Do You Mean Personal Information?
The personal information that we collect includes contact details, registration, education and employment history primarily as well as information about you – as a person! We collect information about current staff, income potential, and information pertinent to our business role. We collect this information from you, and with your permission we may also collect information from references, prior employers, and the registration body that you’re governed by. Please note, we do not collect personal information from persons under the age of 18 years.
What Are We Using It For?
The reason we do this, first and foremost, is to ascertain that you have the right qualifications and that we have all the information that we need to represent you to the best of our abilities. It gives us the information we need to advise you appropriately on what you may need to do for us to best assist you. There are also things that we need to have on file, so that when we find you a job or a staff member, we’re able to complete the required documentation and also – to meet our own compliance requirements! Other information we ask you, may be to determine what you need to be fully satisfied professionally.
We will not be collecting information other than what is necessary for us to use in the course of our work
We won’t be using it for unlawful discrimination or for any other reason than we feel it’s needed to do our best for you – you have the right to question us about this information at any time.

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
