Privacy - Australian Medical Careers

Effective date: 19 August 2026

Australian Medical Careers is operated by GDKC Health Pty Ltd (“Australian Medical Careers”, “we”, “us” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and protect personal information when candidates, employers and other visitors use australianmedicalcareers.com.au and our related recruitment services.

1. Information we collect

Candidates and job seekers. We may collect your name, email address, telephone number, account details, professional headline, profession, employment history, qualifications, registration details, work rights or visa status, preferred locations, job preferences, CV, cover notes, applications, communications and consent records.

Employers and advertisers. We may collect contact names, work contact details, organisation details, website, job-listing information, salary or rate information, application contact details, account activity, billing information where applicable, and communications with us.

Website and service information. We may collect IP address, browser and device information, security and anti-spam signals, cookies, analytics information, page interactions and records needed to operate, secure and improve the service.

Please do not upload clinical records, patient information, identity documents, financial account details or other sensitive information that is not reasonably required for recruitment. A CV may contain sensitive information you choose to provide. Where consent is required, we seek it through the relevant registration or application form.

2. Why we collect and use information

to create and administer candidate and employer accounts;
to store and maintain confidential candidate profiles and CVs;
to receive, review, publish and manage genuine job listings;
to process applications and send authorised candidate information to the relevant employer;
to contact candidates about job roles, career opportunities, applications, account matters and services that may be relevant to their stated preferences;
to contact employers about registrations, job listings, applicants, relevant job seekers, advertising and recruitment services;
to match job seekers with relevant job roles and employers;
to provide alerts or marketing communications where permitted and allow recipients to opt out;
to prevent spam, fraud, misuse and security incidents;
to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our terms; and
to analyse and improve the website and our services.

3. When we disclose information

Candidate profiles and CVs are not intended to be publicly displayed. We may disclose a candidate’s profile, CV, cover note and relevant contact or professional information to an employer or recruiter when the candidate applies for a role, asks us to make an introduction, or otherwise gives permission. We may contact relevant candidates about a role before any profile or CV is forwarded.

We may disclose employer contact and job information to candidates as needed to advertise a role, facilitate an application or provide recruitment services. Public job advertisements may display the organisation, role, location, salary information where selected, and application instructions, but not an employer’s private account credentials.

We may also disclose information to hosting, email, analytics, security, document-storage, payment and professional service providers that help us operate the service; to regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where required or authorised by law; in connection with a business sale or restructure subject to appropriate safeguards; or where you consent.

4. Overseas processing

Some technology and service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Their locations may change. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use providers with appropriate privacy and security protections and to address applicable cross-border disclosure obligations.

5. Direct marketing and job alerts

We may use contact details to send relevant job opportunities, candidate alerts, employer information or service updates where you have consented or where otherwise permitted. You can unsubscribe using the link in a message or by contacting us. Service, security and account communications may still be sent where necessary.

6. Security and storage

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including restricted administrative access, private candidate and employer records, protected CV storage, form nonces, bot checks and rate limiting. No online system is completely secure, and you should use care when choosing information to provide.

7. Retention and deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, to maintain an active account, provide recruitment services, meet legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes and maintain security records. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it, subject to lawful backup and record-keeping requirements.

8. Access, correction and account closure

You may ask to access or correct personal information we hold about you, withdraw a consent where applicable, close your account, or request deletion of information that we are not legally required to retain. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

9. Cookies and analytics

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, security, preferences, measurement and website improvement. Browser settings can control some cookies, although disabling essential cookies may affect the service.

10. Data breaches

We maintain processes for assessing and responding to suspected data breaches. Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme or another law applies, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant regulator when required.

11. Complaints and contact

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services, technology or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
