Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 4 May 2026

1. Introduction

Smile Restoration Australia ("we", "our", "us") is operated by Compare Assist Group Pty Ltd.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information when you visit www.SmileRestoration.com.au, submit an enquiry, request a callback or otherwise interact with our website and services.

We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

2. Nature of Our Service

Smile Restoration Australia operates as a dental referral network.

We collect and process information you provide when making an enquiry and, with your consent, may disclose that information to one or more independent partner dental clinics or registered dental practitioners so they can contact you regarding your enquiry.

We:

  • do not provide dental treatment;
  • do not diagnose dental conditions;
  • do not provide clinical advice;
  • do not determine treatment suitability; and
  • do not recommend one clinic over another based on clinical suitability.

Treatment recommendations, clinical advice and dental services are provided independently by the treating practitioner following an individual consultation.

We may receive a referral fee or other commercial benefit for facilitating introductions between prospective patients and partner clinics.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide

Depending on your enquiry, we may collect:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • State, suburb or postcode
  • Preferred contact time
  • Dental concerns or treatment interests
  • Any additional information you voluntarily provide

Providing this information is voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide certain information, we may be unable to process your enquiry or arrange a referral.

3.2 Health Information

Depending on the information you provide, your enquiry may include information relating to your dental health, symptoms, treatment interests or other health-related matters.

Some of this information may be considered health information or other sensitive information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

By submitting an enquiry, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of this information for the purpose of facilitating your referral to an appropriate independent partner dental clinic or registered dental practitioner.

We do not intentionally collect information that is not reasonably necessary to provide our referral services.

  • facilitate communication regarding your enquiry;
  • improve our website and services;

8. Data Security & Retention

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

While we use commercially reasonable security practices, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • provide our services;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • resolve disputes; and
  • maintain appropriate business records.
