We need information from you, and about you, to care for you safely. We respect your right to privacy.

As part of giving you high quality and safe health care, we will keep records of your treatment and care.

If you have capacity to consent, and you would like your family member, friend or another person to know about your treatment and care, it is important you give consent for us to share personal information with them. This can be given in writing or you can tell your nurse, midwife or doctor. You can also choose how much information we share.

If a significant risk to yourself or others has been identified, some information related to your care and treatment may need to be released to parents/guardians.

If you tick the box on your admission form saying you want us to send a report to your GP, we will do this at the end of your hospital stay. Please make sure we know who your current GP is and their contact details.

If you would like access to your medical record, phone the Clinical Record Service on (02) 5124 2124 during office hours. There is a cost to access your medical record.
