On completion of this module, participants will understand:

Why this module is important
All health service providers in Australia are regulated by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). But privacy protection is about more than just your legal obligations: protecting your patients’ health information is essential to maintaining the reputation of your practice.
Who this module is for
As well as practice managers, this module will help both medical professionals and administrative staff understand their legal obligations, and equip them to better protect health information and avoid data breaches.
