We have engaged with cyber security experts, who have conducted a full review of this matter. At this point in time, we do not believe that any of your personal information has been taken.

As soon as we were made aware of this breach, we shut down the source of this vulnerability and have been working with our IT provider, authorities and independent expert advisers to investigate and protect patients from any further risk. The matter has been reported to the Australian Federal Police and will be reported to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. We are continuing to investigate this matter and will keep you updated regarding any developments. What do you need to do?
