Ballarat Cardiology is committed to upholding the dignity and privacy of every patient. In line with our core value of respect, we manage all personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and all relevant State legislation.
For comprehensive details regarding our privacy practices and how to access your medical records, please refer to our Privacy Policy, available for download on our website.
To ensure the highest standard of care, we may need to obtain or share relevant past medical reports and clinical information. To facilitate this, we require patients to provide written consent authorising the release or collection of medical records from or to other health service providers involved in your care or for clinical audits. This consent is included in our New Patient Information Form. Prompt completion of this form enables us to process your referral efficiently.
Patients have the right to access their health records at any time. If you wish to request access, please contact our clinic.
