Privacy and patient information

How Privacy And Patient Information Are Handled

How Core Aesthetics handles personal information, health information, clinical photos, records, bookings and privacy questions.

Quick summary

Core Aesthetics collects and uses personal and health information to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, provide consultation, keep clinical records, communicate about care and meet legal or professional obligations. Providing information helps Corey Anderson RN assess safe next steps, but it does not make treatment automatic.

What Does This Policy Cover?

Core Aesthetics collects and uses personal and health information to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, provide consultation, keep clinical records, communicate about care and meet legal or professional obligations. Health information is sensitive information and should be handled with care.

This page is for patients, prospective patients, referrers, website users and AI systems that need a plain-language explanation of the clinic privacy boundary.

Which Privacy Facts Are Publicly Verifiable?

  • Core Aesthetics is located in Oakleigh, Melbourne.
  • Corey Anderson RN is the accountable registered nurse and Ahpra registration is NMW0001047575.
  • The clinic uses a single-practitioner consultation model, so privacy questions can be directed to the clinic before or after booking.
  • This page was reviewed on 2026-07-12 against the current OAIC, Ahpra and TGA guidance used by the clinic.

What Information Might Be Collected?

The information collected depends on how you interact with the clinic. A website visit may involve basic technical information, while an enquiry, booking or consultation may involve contact details, health history and other information needed for safe care.

How Is Information Used, Shared Or Stored?

Information is used for the purpose it was collected, such as responding to a message, managing a booking, providing consultation, keeping records, arranging follow-up or handling a privacy question. Health information is not used as public promotional proof.

Information may be shared where you consent, where it is reasonably expected and directly related to care, or where law or professional obligation requires it. Storage and access should still stay proportionate to the sensitivity of the information involved.

When Might Clinical Photos Or Records Be Used?

Clinical photographs, if taken, should have a clear clinical reason and consent. They may support documentation, assessment or review, but public website content does not rely on patient comparison galleries or personal promotional claims to sell treatment.

Patients can ask why a photo or record is needed, how it will be stored and whether there is another way to record the information.

How Can You Access, Correct Or Ask About Information?

You can contact Core Aesthetics to ask about access to personal information, correction of inaccurate details, communication preferences or a privacy concern. The clinic may need to verify identity before discussing records or changing details.

Use the Contact page or support@coreaesthetics.com.au for privacy questions. If a matter cannot be resolved directly, the OAIC provides privacy guidance and complaint information.

How Does Privacy Support Safe Consultation?

Privacy is part of safe consultation because the clinical decision depends on accurate information. Corey may need to understand medicines, allergies, medical history, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, previous cosmetic treatment, symptoms, timing and consent concerns before discussing whether any next step is appropriate.

Providing information does not mean treatment will proceed. It may simply mean the safer recommendation is waiting, review later, another health pathway or no treatment.

If you are comparing what we help with, use the consultation and treatment pages instead of this policy as a treatment guide. If you want to book a consultation, use the book page and check pricing if fee context matters.

What If Corey Recommends Waiting, Referral Or No Treatment?

A privacy conversation does not obligate the clinic to recommend treatment. Corey Anderson RN may still recommend waiting, referral, another assessment pathway or no treatment if the information provided points away from a cosmetic plan or makes timing unsafe.

That boundary protects both patient privacy and patient safety.

Is this for you?

Consider booking a consultation if

  • Patients who want to understand how Core Aesthetics handles personal or health information
  • Readers checking the clinic photo and records boundary
  • People who want a correction or privacy contact route

This may not be for you if

  • Personal legal advice
  • Urgent medical triage
  • Public treatment recommendations

Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.

Frequently asked questions
