The issue of, and access to, medical records has been a contentious matter for some years in Australia. The recent High Court decision of Breen v Williams has clarified the law nationwide. The High Court confirmed that the ownership of medical records is vested in the creator of the records. The High Court further held that a patient has no right at law to access his or her medical records in the absence of any statute granting such a right, or other legal process.
多年来，在澳大利亚，医疗记录的问题以及获取医疗记录的权利一直是一个有争议的问题。澳大利亚高等法院最近对“布林诉威廉姆斯案”的判决在全国范围内澄清了法律。高等法院确认，医疗记录的所有权归记录创建者所有。高等法院还进一步裁定，在没有授予这种权利的任何法规或其他法律程序的情况下，患者在法律上无权获取自己的医疗记录。
