Privacy Policy
Last updated: 11/5/2026
Jade Care respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information with care, respect and transparency.
This Privacy Policy explains how Jade Care collects, uses, stores and discloses personal information when you visit our website, contact us, complete an enquiry form, attend an information session, book a care conversation or use our services.
Jade Care provides aged care-related information, family care conversations and home care support enquiries. Jade Care is not My Aged Care and does not decide eligibility, funding or approved government-subsidised services.

2. What information we collect
We may collect personal information that you provide to us, including:
your name;

suburb or postcode;

Health information is sensitive information. We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, provide services, support care planning, meet safety requirements or comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Please do not send detailed medical records, Medicare details, government identification documents, medication charts, hospital discharge summaries or urgent clinical information through our general website form unless we specifically request them through an appropriate process.

We may also collect limited website and technical information, such as browser type, device information, pages visited and general website usage data, through website analytics or cookies.
4. Why we collect and use your information
We collect and use personal information to:
respond to enquiries;
contact you about your request;
book and manage care conversations;
understand what support may be needed;
help families prepare questions or examples for My Aged Care discussions;
provide home care support enquiries and services;

We do not use your information to decide My Aged Care eligibility, funding or approved services. Those decisions are made through the official My Aged Care assessment process.
5. My Aged Care assessment preparation
Jade Care may help families prepare for My Aged Care conversations or assessments by helping them think through:
what has changed at home;
what daily tasks are becoming harder;
safety concerns;
family carer concerns;
examples that may help explain the older person’s day-to-day situation;
questions the family may wish to ask.
Our role is to support clear and honest preparation. We do not coach people to exaggerate, mislead or provide false information.
6. Disclosure of information
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:
Jade Care staff, contractors or service providers involved in responding to your enquiry or providing services;
family members, carers or representatives, with consent or where otherwise appropriate;
health professionals, referrers, service providers or community organisations, where you have agreed or where necessary for care coordination;
emergency services, where there is a serious and immediate risk to health or safety;
insurers, legal advisers, accountants or professional advisers;
government, regulatory or law enforcement bodies, where required or permitted by law;
technology providers that help us operate our website, email, forms, booking systems, document storage or administration.
We do not sell your personal information.
7. Use of third-party platforms
Jade Care may use trusted third-party systems to operate our website and services, such as:
website hosting platforms;
email and document storage systems;
online forms;
booking or scheduling tools;
customer relationship management tools;
accounting or payment systems;
analytics tools.
Some third-party providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where we use such providers, we take reasonable steps to choose reputable services and limit the personal information collected or stored where possible.
8. Use of AI and automation
Jade Care may use digital tools, including AI-assisted tools, to help with general administration, content drafting, communication templates, service improvement or enquiry management.
We aim not to enter detailed health records, Medicare details, government identification documents or highly sensitive clinical information into public AI tools.
Where AI or automation is used, we aim to use it in a way that supports human review and does not replace clinical judgment, emergency care, My Aged Care assessment or professional advice.
9. Marketing communications
If you choose to receive updates from Jade Care, we may send you information about care services, information sessions, resources or community events.
We will only send marketing communications where we have consent or where permitted by law. You can unsubscribe or opt out at any time by following the instructions in the message or by contacting us.
Service-related communications, such as appointment confirmations or responses to your enquiry, are not marketing communications.

Our website may use cookies or analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website, improve user experience and assess the effectiveness of our communication.
You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.
11. How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
These steps may include:

using password-protected systems;
enabling multi-factor authentication where possible;
using secure email and document storage systems;
keeping records only for as long as reasonably necessary;
training staff and contractors in privacy and confidentiality;
