Confidentiality

DHQ is independent from the Medical Board of Australia and AHPRA.

DHQ receives funding at arm’s length from the Medical Board of Australia via Doctors’ Health Services Pty Ltd, a subsidiary company of the AMA (Federal).

To What Level?

Providing confidentiality is of such great importance that it is guaranteed, unless there is an imminent risk of substantial harm to the public or to the practitioner.

In these rare situations, the legislated requirement to report to the relevant board is accepted.

DHQ is required to report on non-identifiable data of its services to the Doctors’ Health Services Pty Ltd. Please be assured that we have gone above and beyond to ensure these arrangements protect your confidentiality and privacy in accordance with our Confidentiality and Privacy Policy. DHQ does not report any identifiable information about callers to the helpline to the MBA, AHPRA or the DHQ Board. Please do not hesitate to contact our Medical Director for further information on this via admin@dhq.org.au.
