Doctor Resources and Guides

Privacy Handbook for Doctors in the Private Sector

The AMA has developed this Resource Book to help doctors comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), as amended, which affects all doctors practicing in the private sector with effect from 21 December 2001. The book aims to give doctors a sound grounding in the National Privacy Principles (NPPs), so they can more easily implement the changes required to comply with privacy legislation. Click here to download.
