AMA members have been provided with a copy of the AMA's privacy kit in the 19th November 2001 edition of Australian Medicine. Contained in the kit are proforma patient privacy information pamphlets and a waiting room privacy notice to assist practitioners with immediate privacy compliance, until they are in a position to develop their own privacy policy and documentation.
Further supplementary material is available to members, as follows:
1. Sample employee confidentiality agreement
2. Guidance in relation to Diabetes Registers and privacy compliance
3. Suggested privacy information for the back of accounts of doctors who do not necessarily attend their patients
4. Processing Access Request Information Sheet and Tips on Access
5. Sample only Consent form
6. Website Privacy Statement and Policy
7. Summary of NPPs and obligations and some definitions under the Privacy Act
If you require multiple copies of the patient privacy information pamphlets and the poster, download our facsimile order form.
AMA members can down load a copy of the Privacy Kit and the supplementary materials. Members are required to state that they are an AMA member and provide their membership number and their surname to access these documents.
Divisions and Colleges can purchase multiple copies of the AMA Privacy Kit from the Federal AMA for distribution to non-AMA members, and non-AMA members are welcome to purchase multiple copies of the Patient Privacy Information pamphlets direct from the AMA's Federal Office by downloading our facsimile order form.
