I am committed to protect and maintain the confidentiality of all my clients’ personal information. The information you share with me is protected under the National Privacy Principles Act (please see Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988).

Exceptions to confidentiality will be explained during the first meeting. I am legally required to present client files in relation to a current court case and I must abide by the relevant legislation. 

At any point during the therapeutic process, if I have a genuine concern or belief that a person is going to harm themselves or place another person or minor at risk, then I am required to support the client in notifying proper authorities. In critical circumstances I might need to contact authorities or family members without consent to protect the client from serious harm. 

As a counsellor I am required by law and ethics to report abuse, domestic violence, or neglect of a vulnerable person such as children, people with a disability or the elderly.
