The program’s consent and confidentiality policy was developed in consultation with experts including: the Australian Medical Association, the Australian Education Union, Parents Victoria and the Victorian Association of Secondary School Principals.

 

Consistent with Australian common law, the program recognises that:

  • any student who wants to see the GP will be permitted to book an appointment

  • the GP will decide whether the young person is mature enough to consent to medical treatment or whether parent/carer consent is needed - as is the case with all GPs in the community

  • the right for a young person’s health information to be kept confidential will be respected unless the disclosure is with the consent of the young person or it is otherwise permitted by law – as is the case with all GP practice in the community

 

Please follow the link below to access the consent and confidentiality policy.

 

  • More information about the program can be found at  https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/Pages/doctors.aspx including fact sheets on confidentiality and consent
  • If you have any questions about the program, please contact Tara Coates
