Your personal health information (PHI) will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Furthermore, practice policy and procedures will reflect best practice guidelines from the Royal Australian College Of General Practitioners accreditation standards. These will underpin QMSC Practice Procedures and Policies relating to Privacy, Confidentiality and Handling of PHI.

When patients register at our practice, they are required to provide consent for our GPs and practice staff to access and use their personal information, to provide the best possible healthcare.

Patients may ‘opt out’ of their data being included in deidentified data that is shared as part of health care such as government requirements or quality improvement.
