Consent Forms
Consent forms allow your practitioner to provide treatment and share information where necessary. Australian health regulations require that your consent is reviewed periodically.
Types of consent
- Treatment consent — Permission for your practitioner to provide care
- Information sharing — Permission to share information with other professionals (e.g., your GP)
- Recording consent — Permission to record sessions for note-taking purposes
Completing consent forms
- Read the form carefully
- Ask your practitioner if you have questions
- Tick the consent boxes you agree to
- Sign and submit
Managing your consents
You can view all your consents in the Consents section of the portal. Each consent shows:
- What you have agreed to
- When it was given
- When it expires
Renewing consent
Consents are valid for 12 months. When a consent is approaching its expiry date, you will see it listed as needing renewal. To renew:
- Go to Consents in the portal
- Find the consent marked as expiring
- Review the details and tap Renew Consent
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw consent at any time directly from the portal:
- Go to Consents in the portal
- Find the consent you wish to withdraw
- Tap Revoke and provide a reason
- Confirm that you understand the implications
Withdrawing treatment consent may affect your scheduled appointments. Withdrawing consent will not affect the care you have already received.
