I was wondering if anyone in Victoria could please help me out on how to apply for it other than asking him? The medical clinic where I see him isn't listed on the Freedom Of Information Victoria online agency database so I don't know how else to apply for for it other than sending him a formal letter requesting it.</P> <P>Could somebody in Victoria please help me?</P> <P>Thank you</P> Sun, 25 Oct 2020 04:07:10 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/foi-and-getting-a-copy-of-my-file/m-p/505908#M12483 16sundayz 2020-10-25T04:07:10Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/foi-and-getting-a-copy-of-my-file/m-p/505909#M12484 <P>Dear 16sundayz~</P> <P>As far as I'm aware any health provided retains property rights to any notes made whilst treating you but normally will give you access, or a report upon written request, perhaps with a charge.</P> <P>There are some exceptions when access will not, or only partially, be made available, however you may find the following pages and links (whjich include a section on Victoria) concerning the whole matter here :<A href="https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/health-information/access-your-health-information/"></A></P> <P><EM><A href="https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/health-information/access-your-health-information/">https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/health-information/access-your-health-information/</A></EM></P> <P>There are both Commonwealth and State complaints procedures if the matter is not handled to your satisfaction</P> <P>Normally when changing to another health provider information is transferred as a matter of courtesy.</P> <P>Hope this helps</P> <P>Croix</P> Sun, 25 Oct 2020 07:33:38 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/foi-and-getting-a-copy-of-my-file/m-p/505909#M12484 Croix 2020-10-25T07:33:38Z
