Privacy Statement

Kritaz Pty Ltd t/a Alpine Animal Doctors

Veterinary Clinic

Alpine Animal Doctors is committed to a high standard of client and patient service. Various legislation requires that a veterinary hospital collects and accurately maintains some personal information relating to our clients and patients.

The provision of quality veterinary healthcare therefore requires a relationship between a veterinary hospital and its clients based on trust and confidentiality. Consistent with our commitment to quality care Alpine Animal Doctors has developed a policy to protect client privacy and comply with privacy legislation. Our policy has been developed in response to the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 and our practice has adopted the ten National Privacy Principles contained in that Act.
