🌟 Want someone you trust to access your health information? 🌟

Setting up third-party access is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

➡️ Step 1: Decide who you’d like to authorise
Choose someone you trust to be involved in discussions about your care. This could be a parent, spouse, adult child, carer, or another trusted person.

➡️ Step 2: Let us know
Speak with our reception team or your doctor and let them know you’d like to set up third-party access. You can also ask for a consent form at your next visit.

➡️ Step 3: Complete the consent form
The form confirms who you’re giving access to and what information can be shared. You’re always in control of how much access is provided.

➡️ Step 4: Update your consent anytime
Your circumstances can change. You can update or withdraw your consent whenever you like — simply let our team know.

We’re always happy to help. Pop in, give us a call on 07 4957 6999, or speak to your doctor at your next appointment.

Spouses & Partners

Married or partnered? Here's something important to know: your spouse or partner cannot automatically access your health records either.

Just like any other patient, your medical information is confidential to you.

Even a husband, wife, or partner needs your consent before we can share your health details with them — whether that's test results, appointment details, or treatment plans.

This isn't about keeping secrets from the people you love — it's about making sure you stay in control of your own care, always.

If you're happy for your partner to be involved, it's easy to set up. Just ask our reception team about completing a consent form.

Patients 16+ and Parental Access

Did you know? Once a patient turns 16, their health information is their own — and that includes access by parents.

In Queensland, young people aged 16 and over are generally recognised as able to make their own healthcare decisions and control who sees their medical records.

That means once your child turns 16, we can't share their health information with you (even as a parent) unless they give consent.

We know this can feel like an adjustment, but it's an important part of building trust between young patients and their healthcare team — and it encourages them to keep seeking care openly and honestly as they grow into adulthood.

If your teen is comfortable involving you, they can simply let us know or complete a consent form at reception.

Got questions? We're always happy to talk this through with your family.

Your health. Your voice. Your rights.

Did you know that young people have rights when it comes to their healthcare?

➡️➡️ Your privacy matters to us.

At Mackay Family Medical Practice, everything you share with your doctor — your history, your results, your conversations — stays private and protected.

That's not just good practice, it's your right.

We know some patients worry about who can see their health records. So, over the next couple of weeks, we're sharing a short series on how we protect your privacy, who can (and can't) access your information, and how to give consent if you do want someone else involved in your care.

First up: your information is always confidential, and it's always yours to control.

Do you have questions about your privacy at our practice?

Ask us at your next visit or give us a call on 07 4957 6999.

Our experienced reception staff will answer all your questions.
