Consent to Privacy Disclosure and Duty of Care
I understand that allied health professionals have legal, ethical and professional obligations to take reasonable steps to protect the safety and wellbeing of clients and others where there are concerns regarding risk of harm, abuse, neglect, exploitation, significant mental health deterioration, or other situations requiring urgent intervention.
I acknowledge that, where clinically indicated, Dynamic Rehab Group and its clinicians may disclose relevant personal and health information to appropriate services, including emergency services, mental health services, hospitals, child protection agencies, adult safeguarding agencies, government authorities, crisis support services, or other relevant health professionals, without my prior consent where required or permitted by law, or where necessary to reduce a serious risk to my safety or the safety of others.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have been informed of these professional obligations and authorise Dynamic Rehab Group to communicate with and provide relevant information to appropriate services when reasonably necessary to support my safety, welfare, treatment, or care coordination, based on my presentation and clinical circumstances at the time.
Note: This consent does not limit or replace the clinician’s legal and professional obligations under applicable legislation, mandatory reporting requirements, privacy laws, or professional standards, which may require disclosure of information irrespective of consent in certain circumstances.
