On Monday, 1 May, I became aware that IT systems attached to my practice had been impacted by a cyber incident.

In response, I took immediate action to safeguard patients and contain the incident by engaging external cyber security experts, and I am actively working with the NSW government and other regulators.

I understand that this news will be concerning to current and former patients, and I apologise for the distress and uncertainty that patients may be feeling.

My number one priority is ongoing medical care and support of my patients.

Disruption to patient care has been minimal.

Cyber security specialists are working around the clock to ensure that the practice’s systems are secure, to determine how this incident began, and to identify which patients may have had their personal information compromised.

If you have any concerns or questions, please contact ID Support on 1800 001 040, 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday or visit their website, https://www.nsw.gov.au/id-support-nsw

I will continue to provide updated information to our patients, and the broader community as the investigation continues.
