Privacy and managing health information in general practice
Last revised: 12 Jul 2024
General practice has a responsibility to protect the privacy of patient health information and be compliant with relevant legislation. The appropriate management of health information in general practice goes beyond just privacy considerations.
This education kit complements the RACGP guide Privacy and managing health information in general practice and is a self-directed learning activity for general practitioners and other practice team members to familiarise themselves with:
It provides an overview of the legislative framework that regulates the way personal information is handled – the Privacy Act 1988, the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and other relevant health records legislation within the general practice setting.
It is anticipated that the content will take approximately one hour to work through. GPs can self-record this activity for CPD purposes.
