Exemptions and Codes made under the HRIP Act
What exemptions are there to the HRIP Act?
There are four major sources of exemptions to the HRIP Act:
- exemptions written in the HPPs direct
- exemptions written in a regulation made by the Minister for Health under the HRIP Act
- exemptions written in a health privacy code of practice, made by the Minister for Health under the HRIP Act
- exemptions written in a health public interest direction, made by the Privacy Commissioner under the HRIP Act
Each exemption could affect one or more of:
- the definition of ‘health information’ (for example see section 5)
- whether the Act affects specific functions (for example see section 13 or section 15)
- whether the HPPs apply to a particular agency or organisation (for example see section 17)
- one or more of the HPPs (for example see section 19)
