Privacy

The protection of our privacy is one of the key priorities leading up to the widespread adoption of e-health in Australia.

A Privacy Management Framework has been developed to ensure that privacy is integrated across NEHTA's work program into the design, management and policy development associated with our range of e-health initiatives.

Relevant requirements in privacy law were met to determine what privacy standards apply. However, this approach does extend beyond compliance with the legislation, to ensure community expectations around privacy protection are also met, including thorough regular consultation with stakeholders and the broader community.

Release of the Healthcare Identifier Service Privacy Impact Assessments are here.
