Looking after your own wellbeing was one of the top insights our members shared as advice they would give their younger, intern selves. And with many doctors possibly suffering from , this advice is unsurprising.

Privacy in Practice: are you managing the risks?

In a busy clinic, even small layout choices - like where screens are placed - can have a big impact on patient privacy. If a screen displaying sensitive health information is visible from a public area, it could lead to a privacy breach. And under the Privacy Act, even brief, unintended access can trigger serious legal consequences. While strong passwords and locked doors help, minimising screen visibility is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidental exposure of patient data.

Privacy breach scenario: What would you do?

A doctor steps out of her consultation room. A nearby patient glimpses another patient’s medical history left open on the screen. It’s only for a moment - but it’s still a privacy breach. Even accidental access to personal health information can have serious consequences under the Privacy Act - especially if it could cause harm.

Doctors: Privacy compliance isn’t just about cybersecurity. It’s about everyday awareness in your practice. A breach response plan isn’t optional - it’s a legal requirement under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme and is also key to protecting patient trust. Make sure you’re ready to respond - quickly, legally, and confidently.

Does your privacy policy tick all the boxes?

A privacy policy isn’t just a formality - it’s a legal requirement. Recent changes to the Privacy Act have strengthened compliance and enforcement powers - and that means new responsibilities for you. Under the Privacy Act, your policy must clearly explain:

✔ What personal information you collect
✔ How you collect, store, and use it
✔ How patients can access or correct their data
✔ How to lodge a complaint
✔ Whether data is shared overseas and where
