Why Melbourne
Regulated industries, compliance first AI
Melbourne's health and public sectors sit within distinct Victorian privacy regimes. The Health Records Act 2001 applies to health information held by public and private organisations within its scope. The Health Complaints Commissioner handles complaints about health information in the private sector. The Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner administers privacy obligations for Victorian public sector organisations under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014. Many private businesses may also be APP entities under the federal Privacy Act.
AI tools that touch patient records, clinical notes or appointment data need a clear data map, role based access, retention rules and accountable review. The exact duties depend on the organisation, the information and the service. We build around the requirements the client confirms with its privacy, legal and clinical advisers. We do not provide legal or clinical advice. For manufacturers, the emphasis shifts to reliable source data, change control and human decisions around maintenance, quality and safety.
