Medical Records

Last reviewed 21 November 2024

All referring doctors AND individuals with complex medical conditions, and adults and children with food allergy/anaphylaxis have already been provided with copies of their letters following consultation. Please check your own records  first before requesting copies, as almost all who have requested copies  so far were previously sent copies of these documents following their initial or subsequent consultations.

These letters are your medical record. 

These can be provided to your new GP or other health practitioners that you might chose to consult. BUT: it is better that the patient have their medical records, since they can then give a copy to a medical practitioner of their choosing. It saves having to try to find a new copy if that GP moves or the practice closes. If electronic copies of medical records are supplied (the preferable option), it is best to keep the files in a safe place in a computer document folder, and not leave them on email servers alone, where again it may be difficult to find on searching years later (or even lost).

If you are a past patient of this practice, and cannot find these documents, you can request a copy to be transferred to you or another doctor of your choice. OR ask your old GP to transfer these and your other medical records to the new practice.

We will need to be able to identify the person making the request, and know that the patient authorises the release of their records (eg a signature). The best method is to fill out the online form rather than old fashioned mail.

Fillable web form to submit the request online: https://form.jotform.com/233478530036051USE THIS METHOD IF AT ALL POSSIBLE AS PAPER REQUESTS MAY BE LOST IN THE MAIL.

Downloadable record request form (Word) to print and fax/post: Record request.docx. NOTE: do not send the paper document to the old practice address as it will not be received.  Post it to the address as indicated on the form.

From 1 January 2025, a payment of $50 per request is required (no GST) before a required can be actioned. Our aim is to supply requested records within a month of the request.
