Australian regulatory posture

  • Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) + the 13 Australian Privacy Principles — full applicability, health information treated as sensitive under APP 3.
  • Notifiable Data Breaches scheme — documented response plan; OAIC + user notification within statutory timelines if serious harm is likely.
  • Data sovereignty — primary database, authentication, file storage, and AI inference all hosted in AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2).
  • State health privacy laws (NSW HRIP, VIC HRA) — we handle practitioner data consistently with these where they apply.
  • Spam Act 2003 (Cth) — every email we send is operational; marketing communications require an opt-in and carry one-click unsubscribe.
