My Health Record
Access to Health Records held by the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network can be facilitated through the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (the HRIP Act). One of the purposes of the HRIP Act is to promote the fair and responsible handling of health information by enabling individuals to gain access to their health information.
This may be done by providing a copy of the health information or providing a reasonable opportunity to inspect and take notes from the Health Record. A Health Information Manager or a clinician must be present for this.
If you are not the patient, you will need to include written consent from the patient clearly indicating that the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network may disclose the records to you. You will be asked to apply in writing and will be charged the relevant fee.
