Last updated: 1 July 2025. This Privacy Policy explains how Acquisitive Healthcare Talent Advisory Pty Ltd (ABN 98 703 549 633) (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information. We are a healthcare recruitment and talent advisory business based in Melbourne VIC, serving candidates and employers across Australia.
1. Our commitment to your privacy
We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained within it. We handle personal information in accordance with those principles and this policy. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at ceo@acquisitivehealthcaretalau.space.
2. The Australian Privacy Principles
The APPs set out standards, rights and obligations around how personal information must be handled, including how it is collected, the purposes for which it may be used and disclosed, how its quality and security are maintained, and the rights individuals have to access and correct their information. This policy is structured to reflect those obligations.
3. What personal information we collect
The personal information we collect depends on the nature of our relationship with you. It may include:
- your name, date of birth and contact details (email address, residential address, and similar details you choose to provide);
- for candidates: resumes, qualifications, professional registrations (for example AHPRA registration), work history, visa and right-to-work documentation, referee details and, where relevant and with your consent, information relating to your suitability for specific roles;
- for clients and business contacts: name, role, business email address, organisation details and information relevant to an engagement;
- information you provide when you submit an enquiry, complete a form on our website or subscribe to updates;
- records of communications between us, including emails.
We do not collect sensitive information (such as health information or criminal history information) unless it is reasonably necessary for our recruitment functions, you have consented, and we are permitted to collect it under Australian law.
4. How we collect personal information
Wherever practicable, we collect personal information directly from you, for example when you submit an enquiry through our website, send us an email, apply for a role, or meet with us as part of a recruitment or advisory engagement. We may also collect information about you from third parties where you would reasonably expect this, such as:
- referees you have nominated;
- professional registration bodies, where we verify credentials with your authorisation;
- publicly available sources such as professional networking profiles; and
- our clients, when they engage us to source or assess candidates.
5. Why we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for purposes including:
- providing recruitment, search and talent advisory services to candidates and clients;
- assessing your suitability for roles and presenting your details to prospective employers with your consent;
- managing our relationships with clients, candidates and suppliers;
- complying with our legal and regulatory obligations, including right-to-work and professional registration checks;
- responding to enquiries and providing quotes for our services;
- operating, maintaining and improving our website and services; and
- our administrative, marketing and business development functions, as described below.
We will only use or disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, or for a related purpose you would reasonably expect, unless we have your consent or another exception under the Privacy Act applies.
6. Disclosure of personal information
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose personal information to:
- prospective employers and clients, for the purpose of placing or referring candidates (with your consent);
- referees and professional bodies, for verification purposes;
- service providers who assist us with technology, data storage, communications or administration, under contractual confidentiality obligations;
- professional advisers such as accountants, auditors and lawyers; and
- government agencies, regulators, courts or law enforcement, where required or authorised by law.
7. Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers, including cloud hosting and email providers, may store or process data on servers located outside Australia. Where personal information is disclosed overseas, we take reasonable steps in accordance with APP 8 to ensure the recipient does not breach the APPs, including through contractual safeguards.
8. Direct marketing
In accordance with APP 7, we may use personal information to send you information about our services that we believe may be relevant to you. Every direct marketing communication includes a simple way to opt out, and you may also opt out at any time by emailing ceo@acquisitivehealthcaretalau.space. Once we receive your opt-out request, we will stop sending you direct marketing communications as soon as reasonably practicable.
9. Cookies and website analytics
When you visit acquisitivehealthcaretalau.space, we may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, measure traffic and understand how visitors use our pages. This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed and the referring website. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them through your browser settings; however, some parts of the website may not function fully without them.
10. Security of personal information
We take reasonable steps in accordance with APP 11 to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include access controls on our systems, secure storage practices, and limiting access to personnel who need the information to perform their duties. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it, subject to any legal retention requirements.
11. Data quality and retention
We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect is accurate, complete and up to date at the time of collection and when we use or disclose it. We generally retain candidate records for a reasonable period after our last interaction with you so that we can consider you for future opportunities and meet our legal obligations, after which the information is securely destroyed or de-identified.
12. Access to and correction of your personal information
Under APP 12, you may request access to the personal information we hold about you. Under APP 13, you may request that we correct information we hold about you that you believe is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. To make a request, email ceo@acquisitivehealthcaretalau.space with details of your request. We will respond within a reasonable period. We may need to verify your identity before providing access, and in limited circumstances access may be refused under the Privacy Act, in which case we will explain why and how you may complain.
13. Anonymity and pseudonymity
Where it is lawful and practicable, you have the option of dealing with us anonymously or using a pseudonym, for example when browsing our website or making a general enquiry. However, if you wish to engage our recruitment or advisory services, we will generally need to identify you in order to provide those services and meet our legal obligations.
14. Complaints and enquiries
If you believe we have breached the APPs or this policy, or you have a privacy-related enquiry, please contact us first so we can investigate and respond:

Please include enough detail for us to understand your concern. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly and aim to resolve it within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) via its website at www.oaic.gov.au.
