2026 has started with a bang at university orientation events across the country. This week, the Avant team were in WA, NSW and VIC, visiting students at The University of Western Australia, The University of Notre Dame Australia and Deakin University as they begin their medical school journey.

From answering your questions about medical indemnity cover to understanding what matters to you, it was great connecting and sharing how Avant can support you.

Looking ahead: strengthening Privacy in 2026

Reflection leads to action. As the year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time
to ask: What will you do differently to protect patient privacy in the new
year?

Here are 5 steps to help you start strong:
✔ Review and update your privacy policy
✔ Schedule annual staff training
✔ Assign a privacy lead or champion
✔ Audit your systems and access controls
✔ Refresh your breach response plan

Throughout this year, we’ve explored the risks, responsibilities, and best
practices that shape privacy in healthcare. From understanding legal
obligations to empowering teams, every step has helped build a stronger,
privacy-first culture. Let’s carry that momentum into 2026.
