What information does Central Melbourne Endocrinology collect about me?


When you become a patient at Central Melbourne Endocrinology, a record is made containing information such as your name, address, date of birth, emergency contacts, general practitioner (GP) contact details, the nature of the problem for which you sought treatment and the investigations, treatment and advice you were given. Every time you attend Central Melbourne Endocrinology for healthcare services or consultations, new information is added to your medical record.

How do you protect my information?


Information about you is stored securely in a password-protected electronic medical record and is available to healthcare professionals at Central Melbourne Endocrinology who are involved in your care.
