The Department of Human Services has developed a number of resources
to support Service Coordination around privacy and consent.
- Consumer Consent Form.
- Your Information – it’s Private brochure.
- DIY Privacy Resource for Primary Care Agencies.
What’s the purpose of the Consumer Consent Form and Your
Information – it’s Private brochure?
To meet privacy consent requirements many agencies use the Consumer Consent
Form and the Your Information – it’s Private Brochure.
The Consumer Consent Form and brochure provides a uniform approach
to obtaining consumer consent for the sharing of consumer information and
meets requirements of the Victorian Health Records Act 2001. A
copy of the brochure is set out below.
Further information on the use of the Consumer Consent Form and Your
Information – it’s Private brochure can be found in
the Service Coordination Tool Template Guidelines which can be downloaded
