NSW Access to Psychologist or Doctor's Records After Appointment?

[Rick O'Shay]

I am wondering if I can have access to reports/medical information following psychologist \doctor's appointments.

Ex won't provide information and psychologist says it's confidential - how does this even add up?

Why do you want them?

Read this: Feuding parents access to children’s medical records - (Canberra Doctor - September 2017)

Unless your ex has sole parental rights ordered by a court, and your daughter is <18, I'd be telling the doctor to release the records or face court + costs.

I had to have it written into my Interim Court Orders, so now she takes my daughter to a different doctor every other week. But the good thing is all the emails that go unanswered, about who my daughters new doctor(s) are, are just building up more and more contraventions.

(a) Both parents are at liberty to talk to the childs treating practitioners, medical staff, doctors and specialists, this includes full access to medical reports,documents, case files, presciptions and notes.

(b) Both parents must advise the other parent of the treating practitioners, name, address, and contact number.
